Yes you do. Example would be if you are at your company. including your company commander, lets just say hanging around then all of a sudden the Brigade Sergeant Major pops in for a visit. The first person to see him calls the company to at ease, by loudly saying "At Ease". Any officer out ranks any nco. At the same time a Brigade is a higher echelon then a Company or a Battalion. So that being said give respect to your boss and his boss and his bosses boss

Which rank is higher than a Staff Sergeant?
In the US Army, the next rank above Staff Sergeant would be Sergeant First Class, followed by Master Sergeant and First Sergeant (both grade E8), then by Sergeant Major and Command Sergeant Major (both grade E9). Sergeant Major of the Army is the seniormost noncommissioned officer rank in the US Army. In the US Marine Corps, the next rank above Staff Sergeant (E6) would be Gunnery Sergeant (E7), followed by Master Sergeant and First Sergeant (E8), Master Gunnery Sergeant and Sergeant Major (E9), then Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. Unlike other military branches of the US Armed Forces, where Staff Sergeant is pay grade E6, Staff Sergeant in the Air Force is pay grade E5 - equivalent to a Sergeant in the Army or Marine Corps. It is followed by Technical Sergeant (E6), Master Sergeant (E7), Senior Master Sergeant (E8), Chief Master Sergeant and Command Chief Master Sergeant (E9), and, finally, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, who - like the Sergeant Major of the Army and the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps - is the most senior noncommissioned officer in the entire branch. The British, Commonwealth, and some European forces end their enlisted ranks at Staff Sergeant (or equivalent), and rate enlisted personnel senior to Staff/Colour Sergeants as Warrant Officers.
