There are four ranks of colonel in the United States Air Force: colonel (O-6), brigadier general (O-7), major general (O-8), and lieutenant general (O-9).
Beyond having time in grade, you must pass tests and your evaluations.
Depends on the rank, individuals of matching ranks in different branches make the same amout of base pay. An E-1 in the Army and an E-1 in the Air Force make the exact same. For that matter, an E-1 Air Force Security Forces member makes exactly the same as an E-1 Air Force Avionics Technician. If you are looking to go into the military for the money there is no difference between similar ranks in any branch. What you need to check on is bonuses, incentive pay, hazardous duty pay. Those are the things that will make a difference in your pay.
Army, Air Force and Marine Corps officers are called company grade officers in the pay grades of O-1 to O-3, field grade officers in pay grades O-4 to O-6 and general officers in pay grades O-7 and higher.
