Master sergeant
There has yet to be a female Sergeant Major of the Army.
The Army and Marines both have two ranks in the E8 pay grade - Master Sergeant, and First Sergeant. There is one E8 rank in the Air Force - Chief Master Sergeant. If they hold the position of First Sergeant, they get a diamond on their rank insignia to denote it, but their rank remains Chief Master 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.

NO YOU CAN NOT ADDRESS A MASTER SERGEANT AS "SERGEANT"! Yes you can do this in the Army but should you address a Master Sergeant in the Marines as a Sergeant or "Sarg" your going to hear some vocal cords at high volume in your face.
