Command Sergeant Major - Three stripes on top and three stripes on bottom with one star and wreath and in the middle.

Yes, prior enlisted Soldiers who became officers can be paid more than new officers higher than their rank. For example, in 2012, a new captain in the reserve is paid at 502.84 per drill weekend while a 1LT with 6 years of prior enlisted experiences is paid at 601.28 per drill weekend and a 2LT with 6 years of prior enlisted experience can be paid at 506.68. In the Army, the Chaplain branch has a category called Chaplain Candidate. They are not "official" officers but are on student status because they are still attending seminary. They will have to submit their packages for accession into full chaplaincy after graduation from seminary; but often times, they can be paid much more than newly accessioned chaplains who have no prior enlisted experiences.

"Rate" refers to a non commissioned member of the US Navy.

you can do anything you put your mind to my friend. you definitely can make money in your sleep. I wish I was able to paste a link here but I cant because I do not want to be banned. Never lose hope there is always a way to do something. remember man at first they said could not run four miles in a certain time frame for years, but once the record was broke over 20k people have broke the record what changed? It was the mindset. There is a way you just have to find out how. I have a link in my bio but it is not for making money in your sleep it is for making money though.

Yes. You receive promotion points for completed correspondence courses. When I was promoted to Sergeant, points for the Infantry were particularly low, and all they really had to do was qualify with their weapon, pass their PT test, and do alright at the promotion board. Points for Combat Medics weren't so low, however, and I needed everything I could get in order to have enough points for promotion.

The US Army consists of three armies: Regular Army, Army Reserves, and the Army National Guard. The US Air Force has the same organization. The USN & USMC do not; they only have reserves.

For the Army & Air Force; the AIR National Guard and the ARMY National Guard are (and/or were up until the US Civil War) separate forces at one time; they were the STATE MILITIAS under the command and control of the GOVERNOR of the state that they belonged to. Example: During the US Civil War you might read during some battles (examples only) about the "35th Mississippi engaging the 46th New York at such and such place." AFTER the US Civil War, those names wouldn't be used...they'd say, as an example: "69th US Armor engaging the 202nd NVA Armor" (actual units engaged during the Vietnam War), but the 69th wouldn't mention a state...just the army itself...the US.

Post US Civil War...the Army National Guard became the US National Guard so that "states" wouldn't fight each other again. Even though the Guard is still officially under the "C & C" (command & control) of the Governor, if he goes against the US government, as Arizona threatened to do in the 1930's over a dam project (water project); and Governor Wallace of Alabama actually mobilized his Alabama Army National Guard during a Civil Rights action in the 1960's, the US government can (and did in Wallace's case) activate the Guard unit into the REGULAR ARMY, this is a safety measure to prevent another civil war.

Therefore, ALL US Army Reservists, Guardsmen, and US Army Regulars are US Soldiers: Privates, Private First Class, Specialists, Sergeants, etc. If you look at their uniforms they will ALL SAY US ARMY on them. None will say US Army Reserves or National Guard.

Only on paper (orders: sometimes) will designations be so marked: Jones (USAR) or Jones (ANG or ARNG).

Bottom line: Unless they were West Pointers or otherwise had received an "RA" commission, all US Army officers in Vietnam were Reserve/Guard officers on active duty. Upon completion of their tour of duty...they were returned to Army Reserve/Guard status and sent home.

US military officers wear their rank on their shoulders and enlisted personnel wear their rank on their sleeves. This is meant to be symbolic of the fact that the enlisted use their arms (strength) to win battles. Officers on the other hand have the weight of command (decisions) on their shoulders . Thus, the tradition follows.

There are too many related factors to calculate this, even with a known amount. Each state has its own guideline, and inclusions or exclusions on income and deductibles. Some use gross while others use net.

You do what duties are assigned to you, regardless of rank. Officers would be tasked to serve as officer of the day.. usually, this would be Captain and below, so you could pretty much assume you were exempt once you reached Major. For enlisted, if you're E-1 through E-4, you're going to be assigned to details. Accept it. E-5 through E-7 may still be assigned to supervise, although the likelihood of an E-7 being tasked as a detail supervisor is going to be dependent on what position they hold.

As for K.P., this question makes me wonder what kind of a unit you're in. I haven't had to do K.P. duty since Basic Training, and I can't remember ever seeing anyone in my unit assigned to K.P. duty, aside from those who'd be detailed to be servers when we had Hot-A meals in the field, and those would usually be the training room staff and others in the headquarters platoon who could be spared.

Somewhere in between. If you did four years in university, got Specialist rank on enlistment for having a degree - you're basically an overpaid Private. If you've done your time, earned your E4 rank.. you won't be comparable to a Sergeant, but there'll be times when you may be tasked with leadership duties. Specialist rank is commonly referred to as the "sham shield", because an E4 is more easily able to get out of details than a Private, or even a Corporal or Sergeant, who is going to be tasked with supervising those details.

For British Commonwealth nations:

Field Marshal (Army)

Admiral of the Fleet (Navy)

Air Marshal (Air Force)

Also, the question makes no real sense; there is no special rank limitation when "in a military base". That is, militaries don't somehow limit higher rank individuals from entering a base, nor do they somehow reduce their authority for being in "excess" of some rank.

If the question asks "what is the typical rank of the commander of a military base", then, that too is much too nonspecific, as the rank of the base commander depends on a whole host of qualifications, not the least being the size of the base, the military formation(s) deployed at the base, the particular branch overseeing the base, etc.

Also, note that military command structures are not just about rank, but also about the RELATIONSHIP between commands. Thus, it trivial for a visitor to a base to outrank the base commander, but still not be able to order the base commander to do anything (as that visitor is probably not part of the base commander's chain of command).

Depending on the individuals years in service the pay starts at:

2 years or less: $1,889.70 a month

Over 2 years: $1,986.30 a month

Over 3 years: $2,094.00 a month

Over 4 years: $2,199.00 a month

Over 6 years: $2,293.00 a month

Pay caps at $2,293.00 a month due to the Army's Retention Control Point (RCP), which mandates that you must reach a certain Pay Grade by a certain time period.
