Sergeant
They are referred d to as Top because they are at the top of the NCO ladder. They are the highest rank a NCO can be without a MOS.
Sergeant Major is E9 which is the highest NCO "pay grade" in the marines. Command Sergeant Major is E9 as well but has more seniority than just a Sergeant Major. Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps is also E9 but has the most seniority of any NCO in the marines. E9 means that you are enlisted and you are rank 9. E9 is used to represent the pay grade.
No, a Corporal (Corpal) is not considered a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) by the U.S. Army. In the Army, the NCO ranks start from Sergeant and above. A Corporal is an enlisted rank below the ranks of Sergeant.
Sergeant Major of the Army is the highest rank NCO.
The US Army and Marine Corps requires respect of all Non-Commissioned Officers' rank. While the soldier must respect the rank, the NCO determines whether or not the person is respected.
Any as I knew a PFC that lived in base housing, but until you reach NCO, the waiting list is very long and is not likely to happen before you leave4 the station. If you have to get off base housing, they used to give a slight boost in pay to help cover expense provided base was not available, but not sure if that is till offered.
Wow, studied this in NCO School. The Army NCO Corps was established during the Revolutionary War by an Austrian by the name of Von Struben on direct orders of Gen. Washington. Exact year, I am not sure, but Von Struben made our NCO Corps unlike any other.

Corporal is the first rank considered NCO or non commisioned officer. What they do in the Corps depends on what military occupational specialty they hold. Typically the corporal will be supervising those beneath him, or enforcing orders issued by those above him.
