The Marine Gunnery Sergeant rank was adopted in 1898, according to http://www20.brinkster.com/gunnyg/gyhistory.html
Some consider it to have been Archibald Sommers who was the first Sergeant Major in the Marine Corp and received that rank on 1 January 1801. The first to hold the billet of Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps was Wilbur Bestwick from 23 May 1957 until 31 August 1959.

He's still a serviceman subject to military pay grades. If he's a Staff Sergeant, then he draws SSG pay (E-6 pay), etc.

All servicemen (during the Viet War anyway) drew additional pay for: Airborne (called jump pay), Combat, Over-seas, EOD, etc.

Diego Enrique Santiago, age 5, was pinned an honorary Chief Petty Officer at the USO in Jacksonville, North Carolina in March of 2006. He was a cancer patient and his wish was to be a Navy Chief just like his father, HMC Jesus Santiago. Diego passed away 8/2/06.

Gary Roughead, he is the current Chief of Naval Operations. His rank is that of a 4 star admiral which is the highest rank that can be given during peace time.

He was the Commander of the US naval victories against the Spanish in the Philippines. He commanded the US Navy's Asiatic Squadron in the Pacific and received a warning order from the Secretary of the Navy that War with Spain was imminent and to assemble and re-coal in Hong Kong and prepare to engage the Spanish Navy at Manila Bay.

Mary C. Clarke, formerly of the Womens Army Corp. She retired at Fort McClellan in 1981 with the rank of Major General.

The lowest rank in the US Army for an officer is Second Lieutenant. Then, First Lieutenant. It is important to note that even a Second Lieutenant out ranks many of the most senior non-officers (or enlisted men).

In the UK, there is no such thing as a first lieutenant, just lieutenant. Any officer will still outrank any NCO.

Theophilus H. Holmes, who was promoted to Lieutenant General (three stars) while serving west of the Mississippi. Lee had had Holmes transferred out of his Army of Northern Virginia because he felt Holmes, who was mostly deaf and fairly old, did not measure up. He was not popular in the Trans-Mississippi Department, either.

The only other North Carolinian to serve as a Lieutenant General was Daniel Harvey Hill. He was a much better general than Holmes, but was very outspoken. He may have offended the wrong people, because even though he was nominated to the rank of Lieutenant General, he was never confirmed in that rank by the Confederate Congress. So, officially, Hill's highest rank was Major General, though he did command a corps in both the eastern and western theaters - normally a job for a three star.

North Carolina seems not to have been completely trusted by the Confederate government, perhaps for its perceived tardiness in seceding, or for its fractious governor, whose campaign platform was "fight with the Yankees and fuss with the Confederacy". North Carolina provided more troops to the southern armies than any other southern state (including Virginia) and had more dead than any other southern state (including Virginia). This leading contribution was not recognized by promoting North Carolinians in proportion to high rank. There were eight full, four star Confederate generals. One of them, Braxton Bragg, was born in North Carolina but was more closely associated with Louisiana, which he claimed as his home. There were twenty-three Confederate Lieutenant Generals and only the two above were from NC.

Type your answer here... Major

no it can not...but there have been rumors that it may be availavble soon... Soldier

No. No Warrant Officer is a field grade officer.

Actually a CW4 receives the same priviledges as a field grade officer. My husband is a CW4 and when applying for on post housing, we can not be placed in company grade house, it must be field grade. It is the same for w4 and w5.

An IET soldier placed in charge of a company as student leadership. There are also PGs which act as leadership on the platoon level, squad leaders, class leader, and possibly their assistants. The roles are used to teach student to manage themselves on smaller issues and leave the NCOs to handle larger issues. It also teaches students to use their chain of command correctly.

Base pay for a PFC with 2 or fewer years time in service is $1649.70. There are additional variables that can increase this but it depends on the individual, his personal situation, and his assignments.

Is this per month or every two weeks?

Unless the person is selected for promotion to the rank of Brigadier General, they must retire after 30 years of service.

In 1966 Army Chief of Staff Harold K. Johnson chose Sergeant Major

William O. Wooldridge as the first Sergeart Major of the Army.

Chief of Staff is the title of the highest ranking officer of the US Army. He holds the rank of General, which is an 0-10 / 4 star rank. The title of Commander-In-Chief is given to the President of the US and is the commanding authority for all military forces, but the holder of this rank, while often having served in the military, is not a military officer by virtue of title.

You need 5 Kills that can be verified.

Usually the highest American rank is a 4-star General, who is called "General". With the massive amount of troops in World War II, the US created the rank of "General of the Army", "General of the Air Force", "Fleet Admiral".

These ranks are "5 star Generals" and are reserved for use during wartime. An American "5 star General" is the same rank as a "Field Marshal" A rank which is used by a number of European countries.

During World War I, General Pershing was awarded the title of "General of the Armies". While his rank was still a "4 star General", by title General Marshal outranked the "5 star Generals" of World War II. In a like manner, Admiral George Dewey was promoted to "Admiral of the Navy", a title that made him senior in rank to the "Fleet Admiral"

Thus General Pershing and Admiral George Dewey, both would be considered a "6 star General". But its a rank that has never been formalized.

Just to cover all bets, Congress promoted General George Washington to "General of the Armies" on July 4, 1976 on the 200th birthday of the US.

All Warrant Officers are addressed as "Mr."

I usually addressed them by their first name. In formal situations they would be Chief Warrant Officer xxx. In informal situations with lower ranks present, I sometimes used the term 'Gunner' when talking with those with a specialty in weapons or EOD.

A generic abbreviation for Warrant Officer is WO. However, the abbreviation usually directly relates to the appropriate rank. The ranks are W1=WO1, W2=CW2, W3=CW3, W4=CW4, and W5=CW5. CW stands for Chief Warrant Officer.

In the Canadian Forces, there are about 12 people at this grade, but this would include the Navy, Army, and Air Force.

If the CF's composition is about 40% army, then usually it means 4 to 6 people out of the 12 will be Army Lieutenant-Generals. The "Chief of the Land Staff" (i.e. senior army officer) also holds this rank. The rest of the Lieutenant-Generals usually hold various senior staff positions for the CF in general.

SP4 is a Specialist, E-4, which is one step (rank) above a PFC, Private 1st class, E-3 and one step (rank) below a Sergeant, Sgt., E-5. A Private is an E-1 which is the rank most soldiers get out of boot camp. I still believe that this basic rank structure is the same as it was when I was in the Army 35 years ago. I don't know if the rank of Corporal is still used as it was or is an E-4 or at least a rank above a PFC. A Sgt., E-5 is usually a squad leader but depending on the staffing or circumstances could act as a platoon Sgt. This position is usually held by an E-6 and sometimes an E-7. The head NCO, Non-Commisioned Officer of an Army Company, is usually an E-8 which is a 1st Sergeant. The 'top dog' NCO in a battalion or Unit is the Command Sergeant Major. I think I got it right.
