After the ranks of Sergeant Major come the commissioned officers, the first one being 2nd Lieutenant.
Great question, because in literal translation, the equation would be correct: "Samal" means "Sergeant," and "Rishon" means "First." However, in all branches of the Israeli military, the Samal Rishon rank is one step higher than the Samal rank. In other words, a Samal found worthy of promotion is moved up one rank to Samal Rishon. In the US Army and USMC, the rank that follows that of "Sergeant" is "Staff Sergeant." Israel's rank structure closely follows that of the US, with some fun exceptions that don't apply here. But more importantly, the Israeli "Samal Rishon"--while certainly an NCO (non-commissioned officer)--is not considered a Senior NCO like the (American or Israeli) Sergeant First Class. Thus Samal Rishon = Staff Sergeant, with all associated ramifications in terms of privileges and responsibilities. I'm very curious to find out how this came to be. After all, there is of course a Hebrew word for "Staff:" It's "Segel." So why isn't the Israeli Staff Sergeant called "Samal Segel?" Perhaps to confuse the enemy? So far, my research has not come up with a better answer than my tongue-in-cheek aforesaid one. P.S.: And, yes, I served as a Staff Sergeant....
push promotion is "taking the product to the customer"pull promotion involves "getting the cusomter to come to you"

The term TOP as i have heard from my lieutenant colonel refers to the TOP sergeant. Usually that of the rank First Sergeant. Typically a senior non-commissioned officer.

First class tickets on a first come first serve basis are difficult to come by. Airports that offer only first class tickets aren't around anymore, because people have been chartering private jets for this reason alone. They prefer to travel this way as opposed to buying a first class ticket on a commercial airliner.
By first class mail, 1-3 days.
First class mail is delivered in 3 to 5 days
