If you went through ROTC, you'll be a Second Lieutenant. If you enlisted into the military, it'll generally depend on your branch of service. I know in the Army with a four-year degree, you can enlist as a Specialist (E4). However, everyone else who enlists at the same time as you will have caught up with you in rank by the time you're eligible for Sergeant (E5).
Having a master's degree does not equate to a specific rank.
Rank in the military is not dependent only on education.To become an officer requires attending the military college for officers.Requirements are quite stiff.You could sign up to be a foot soldier without trouble though.
If you join the military then how much money you get paid depends on what rank you are. The higher the rank the more you get paid.
Going the standard route, and not going in as a direct commissioned officer whose rank is based on experience accrued in a civilian equivalent to their military occupation, you would go in as a Second Lieutenant,
Yes. If you get ordained, you could even enter as a chaplain with a commissioned officer rank.
Their Rank Would Be Good
For the U.S. Army this would be the rank of Corporal.
German Shepard and the Belgian Malanois have the highest rank in the military.
In speaking to the officer you would address them by their rank and name. In writing to the person you would follow the rank with the word "Retired" or "Ret."
In the military, a rank is not 'granted', it is earned, and that process is called a 'promotion'. Promotions are earned one of two ways: by meritorious action, or by 'time & grade', whereby the promotion from PFC to LCPL is relatively automatic, assuming the enlisted man/woman has done nothing wrong and has performed his/her duties capably.
There is no such rank in civiailan life. A captain is a military rank
private
major
