| * CPL is an NCO, SPC is
not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| ** MSG and 1SG are at the same pay
grade. The 1SG is the senior NCO of a
company, while a |
|
| MSG is in a staff position. A MSG may leave a staff position to become
the 1SG of a company, |
|
| and a 1SG reverts to a MSG when going to
a staff position. |
|
|
|
| *** Similar to MSG, SMAJ is a NCO in a staff
position. The SMAJ becomes a CSM when
taking |
|
| the senior NCO position of a
battalion or higher organization and vice versa. The SMA is a |
|
| unique position. The SMA is the senior
enlisted advisor to the Chief of Staff of the Army. |
|
| Only one SMAJ is assigned to this
position at a time. |
