First Sergeant/Master Sergeant
-
Apr 1973 - May 1997
Often occupying similar roles, both Master and First Sergeants direct the multiple platoon Sergeants below them. They are, in many ways, really the ones in charge of their units, with their success and drive having a direct and unmistakable impact on the unit as a whole. First Sergeants are addressed in this manner, rather than the abbreviated "Sergeant" moniker acceptable at lower grades. Master Sergeants occupy the same grade -- E8 -- but their duties tend to revolve around Battalion-level administrative and staff roles rather than direct troop command.
