This is one rank structure from at least the US Marine Corps perspective. The Navies may be more helpful and I'll get that squared away if anyone looks like they give a hoot. Otherwise its here for the fun of it.
In simple terms think of the Es as Enlisted= Ground troops, crewmen, and support personel.
Think of the Os as Officers. Commanders for those men and women. In the Marine Corps, it takes at least a Captain to fly I think. Dusty Lens is also a Marine vet and he used to work in the air wing so he would probally know for sure. I was a ground pounder basically.
E-1 Private
E-2 Private First Class
E-3 Lance Corporal
E-4 Corporal
E-5 Sergent
E-6 Staff Sergent
E-7 Gunnery Sergent (Combat M.O.S.) / Master Sergent (Specialist)
E-8 First Sergent (Combat M.O.S.) / Master Gunnery Sergent (Specialist)
E-9 Sergent Major
E-10 Sergent Major of the Marine Corps (Dont know about other branches.)
O-1 2nd Leutenient
O-2 Leutient
O-3 Captain
O-4 Major
O-5 Leutenient Colonal
O-6 Colonial
O-7 Brigader General
O-8 Major General
