Perhaps a note (or even a WikiProject) about the Dutch rank of Sergeant-Majoor?

[edit] Pleural Form

I know in the US more then one Sergeant Major is refered to as Sergeants Major and as such updated the US section. I was wondering if it was the same for the other parts of the world. Mikemill 17:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Command Sergeant Major is not listed as a topic under Category:Military ranks of the United States Army since it redirects to Sergeant Major. Can we fix this? Clown 04:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] US ARMY E8 in an E9 slot

In the text there is a statement that a "First Sergeant" could hold the position of a battalion or higher Sergeant Major or Command Sergeant Major".

It has never been my experience that a "First Sergeant" (E-8) would hold the position of a battalion (or above) Sergeant Major or Command Sergeant Major. In that case the soldier would wear the rank of Master Sergeant (E-8). The only time a soldier would wear the rank of "First Sergeant" is as a company/battery/troop First Sergeant. I would edit the text but there may be an exception I'm not aware of having retired from the US Army in 2000.Greenbomb101 (talk) 16:20, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
