Enlisted Rank Chart
Enlisted Rank
In the Army and Marine Corps, First Sergeant is a rank (E-8), and special duty position held by the top E-8 enlisted person in the unit. In the Air Force, first sergeant is a special duty position which can be held by those in the rank of E-7, E-8, or E-9 (The authorized rank of an Air Force First Sergeant is dependent upon the size of the unit. The more enlisted personnel assigned, the higher the rank of a first sergeant that unit is authorized). |

Back in the Good Old Days
Back in the Good Old Days, in the Army E-5, E-6 and E-7 also had specialist ratings. I made Specialist E-5 in 18 months with no AIT training. I did it on my good looks.

Back in my Good Old Days, Airman basic was no insignia at all, 1 stripe was Airman, 2 stripes was Airman 1st Class, and 3 stripes was Sgt.

Keith during basic training I was on a detail cleaning an abandoned office building one day and found a large chart of ranks which had the old style specialist ranks on it. That was the first time I had ever heard of them. I wonder how a SSGT and say a SPEC 6 interacted? Was the SSGT considered to be in charge?

Dave:
The SGT was always in charge in field operations. Command decisions went to the SGT over SPEC-5. In the work place it was an equal place depending on the chain of command and time in grade. In supply we didn't have a corporal rank only specialist E-4. Depending on your MOS numbers when you went from E-4 to E-5 you were either a SGT or SPEC-5. SPEC-5 was always considered a NonCom. I think the reason they got rid of the Specialist ratings after you were E-5 was because you were considered a NonCom. A Spec-6 would always outrank a SGT E-5.

Would be kind of fun and strange to put on the pay charts for all those ranks/rates from then until now.
Use to be when you went over four years there was a pay raise ( i think ). enough............ reeb.............. I think my base pay as an E-1 a month was $89.00, and three years later it was $454.00 a month as E-5, plus the extras.

I remember my pay check in basic was $32 after taxes every two weeks. I remember they offered me a $5K bonus and my choice of duty station if I re-enlisted.
A fellow airman took a "short" re-enlistment; he signed up for what amounted to an additional 2 years and got the 5 grand. He threw one hell of great party; plenty of booze, food, and professional female entertainment. I personally took part in the feminine entertainment twice. Ah, to be young and virale again.
