An E-9 in the Army is the pay grade that denotes the rank of Sergeant Major, Command Sergeant Major, and Command Sergeant Major of the Army.
E... what? There are nine enlisted pay grades, E1 through E9, plus the rank of Sergeant Major of the Army, which is technically E9, but gets paid at a higher scale than other E9 ranks. Time in service is also a factor in determining a soldier's base pay.
