| '''First Sergeant''' is the eighth enlisted rank of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and 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]]. It is a [[staff non-commissioned officer]] in the Marine Corps and a [[non-commissioned officer]] in the Army.

| ==First Sergeant and 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 (rank)|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.
