Who is the highest Military Rank and Pay grade?

Believe me, I hated them ridiculous password requirements and CBTs myself. I was forced to this new AFSC (3D0X3) after the 3D merger, I wanted to stay as an operator (3D0X2). My job now is more like the policy enforcer when it comes to cyber/network security.

Hey, but AF finally authorized limited access to social networking sites since last month but still no porn. Haha!

 

X2. There are LTC's out there. I could see doubt for O-9's (and obviously O-10's) assuming it just some kid thinking he's cool, but O-5 are making enough money to mod their trucks. I'd think the higher income individuals would be more likely to be involved with a community like this.

It's cool to see so many service members on the site! I'm just in ROTC now (U.S. Army) but eventually I'll be somebody

 

Awesome man; way to be. Which one, just curious?

 

It'll come up wayyyy too fast many enjoy your time in school. I just pinned on O-2 myself!

And no, I do not fly. I do, however, ensure that the pilots have a nice surface to land on.

 

SSgt USAF, Network Intelligence. Currently in a 6 month long upgrade training at Corry Station.

 

E5 in 1970, GS-15 (equiv.) in 2008, GS-7 (equiv.) today, Medicare B this October.

 

E-5 worked on the flight line for the B-1b then i got to go to backshop A/R

 

If it helps, the Navy cats refer to their ranks as "rates." Which simply put means they replace the Petty Officer portion of the rank with their job field. (As I understand it) I.E. A Hospital Corpsman who is an E-4 (PO3) is referred to as an HM3 or Hospital Man Class 3. PO2= HM2, CPO=HMC, etc.

 

Corporal, United States Marine Corps. 0481, Landing Support Specialist "Red Patcher."
Just hit my 3 yr mark and putting in my officer pkg for the Corps in Sept. Aiming to snag up an air contract for Cobras. Got to get that run time down, though. Months worth of work for seconds off my time.

 

was a general..just got fired yesterday.

 

Must be nice to be up in Savannah! Lol i'm stuck in shitty Hinesville. Ft. Stewart. Deployed right now but will be back in December.

 

our rank and rate are somewhat synonymous, it's confusing

this link, kind of explains it
http://www.navy.mil/navydata/navy_legacy_hr.asp?id=260

The only thing simple about the Navy is there are a few fields:
Admin/Medical/Dental, Engineering, Aviation, Construction

 

^there are so many more than that

supply, intel, crypto, operations, law, religion, technical, comms, IT, etc... theres nothing simple about the career fields in the Navy

 

actually, the Navy uses these to classify ratings too
trying to make it simple..there are 4 basic fields and they fall into one of the categories

thats a little outdate... considering, AK, AZ, IC, SK, and TMs don't exist anymore...

the bundling is a little ridiculous too... really... a CS and MN in the same category.

 

still somewhat accurate....it is confusing

I was in the Navy (E1-E4) and then USMC (O1-O2) and I was confused on the Navy's ranks/ratings too.

However, my biggest problem in the Navy (as enlisted) was wearing those "scratchy & itchy" wool dress blues on a hot spring days (before summer uniform change to "whites").
