Who is the highest Military Rank and Pay grade?

Not a service member but thank you all for your service no matter then length served or the rank achieved. It is appreciated and you guys and gals are commonly in my thoughts.

 

yeah, I still have a lot to learn. Fortunately I’m surrounded by hide and seek champs.

 

E-5 US ARMY REPRESENTIN!!! HOOOOOOAH!

 

Just make a fresh pot of coffee... usually will bring me around.

CWO2, 7161 (you can't make me change it yet!)

 

Started out humping a mortar baseplate at Ft. Benning as a Private/PV1 and finished up 30 years later a LTC/O-5 with a Battalion Command.
3 big wars and several little ones...
Would not change a single day of it....absolute best professional decision I ever made.
100% believe every Officer should be Enlisted first...have some great lifelong friends who are West Point and ROTC but that's just how I feel.
Thanks everyone for doing their part.

 

Poll doesn’t include us Warrant officers….often we are forgotten, those pesky o grades never know what to do with us any=way….

 

Maybe not on TW.

I believe the President is the Commander with the highest rank and pay.... (although, I'm not sure on pay)

I thank all of you for your service.
My Father flew the P-47, 1 brother a Marine on the USS Constellation, 1 brother on the USS White Plains. Me, I elected not to enlist, draft was ended when I came of age only needed to register. I often wonder if I missed.

 

Warrant Officers are often over looked for a variety of reasons. Back when I was at Benning and fresh out of Ranger school, I ran into a CW5 (no shit, an actual "Eagle"), but I didn't know he was a CW5. All I saw was a silver bar with a skinny little black bar.

I thought to myself "Damn, what a really old Lieutenant! He must not care about making rank at all!" Then I saw a SF patch on his shoulder and he was triple tab'd. Turns out he was an ODA team leader.

 

E4 USMC grunt

 

E6. US ARMY Cavalry Scout.

 

As a soon to be CW4 that’s about right. Lol

 

I thought all warrants are chiefs and are to be treated as civilians???

 

That’s why we are called Mr. lol

 

I did not notice the w2 to w5 …. My apologies…

 

Your a chief. We just added it for you. You’ve got better things to be doing.

 

Every warrant is called Chief. Regardless of rank

 

Well yeah, it was true when I was an E-1 and still true when I was an O-5. I did have a CW5 try to lecture me on why a W1 was not a chief, but I just assumed he didn’t get his 9 hours of sleep that night.

 

U.S.Army Retired SFC E-7

 

Yup.... carrying aroound a cup of coffee and clipboard while moving at a range walk pace, looking slightly aggravated on my way to my office.

 

Should have a poll for infantry and everyone else
