Shouldnt this, as a slang term, be added to the First Sergeant page? 74.180.79.68 ( talk) 04:57, 25 May 2009 (UTC) reply

Yeah a redirect from here to the same info on the 1st Sgt. page would be a good idea. Sf46 ( talk) 03:05, 28 May 2009 (UTC) reply

Another one I've heard quite often is calling a First Sergeant "Top". If it already isn't it should be included in the slang portion as well —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.242.1.63 ( talk) 13:10, 8 April 2011 (UTC) reply

At least in the Air Force, the First Sergeant is not usually the highest ranking enlisted person in a unit; an Air Force First Sergeant is more a role than a rank, and can be held by a Master Sergeant, Senior Master Sergeant or Chief Master Sergeant. It is not uncommon to have a Master Sergeant as a unit's First Sergeant while also having Senior & Chief Master Sergeants in the same unit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.88.174.18 ( talk) 07:45, 23 October 2011 (UTC) reply
