'''First Sergeant''' is the eighth enlisted rank of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], and equal in pay grade to [[Master Sergeant]], although the two have different reponsibilities. First Sergeant is equal to the rank of [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] in the [[UNSC Navy]].

==First Sergeant vs. Master Sergeant==

In their annual performance evaluations, eligible [[Gunnery Sergeant]]s indicate whether they wish to be considered for promotion to [[Master Sergeant]] or [[First Sergeant]], and thus whether they enter the promotional track for [[Master Gunnery Sergeant]] or [[Sergeant Major]]. Once promoted, the promotional track is permanent; lateral movement between the two programs is not possible.

One of the major differences between the two ranks is that First Sergeants have a general command status, while a Master Sergeant's role is as a provider of technical military leadership.
