'''''N.B.: This rank has not yet been mentioned in the Halo Universe.''''' | |||
'''First Sergeant''' is the eighth enlisted rank of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and ninth enlisted rank of the [[UNSC Army]], and equal in pay grade to [[Master Sergeant]], although the two have different responsibilities. First Sergeant is equal to the rank of [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] in the [[UNSC Navy]]. | |||
==First Sergeant vs. Master Sergeant== | |||
For the United States Marine Corps, 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. | |||
Whether this carries over into the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] is unconfirmed. | |||
==Responsibilities== | |||
Assuming the rank still exists, First Sergeants function as the senior NCOs for [[company]] level units. They advise and assist the company commander directly. Although technically the same rank, they are given more authority than Master Sergeants. | |||
