Yes, it is possible to retire from the US Army as a sergeant (E5), but it is not common. Normally, individuals retire from the Army at a higher rank, such as Staff Sergeant (E6) or higher. To retire as a sergeant, certain criteria like time in service and years at the rank need to be met.
For the US Army, sergeant major basic pay currently is based on longevity...the length of time they have served. Using 26 years of service as an example, a sergeant major in 2010 made $6130. Counter that with what the first Sergeant Major of the Army made when he was selected to that position with 26 years, $657.30.
Base pay is determined by rank/pay grade and time in service, not by occupation. An E5 (Sergeant) with four years in service (as an example) has the exact same base pay whether they be a cook, PAC clerk, tank commander, infantryman, MP, or any other occupation in the Army.
The seven elements that make up army values are: Loyalty Duty Respect Selfless service Honor Integrity Personal Courage
