First Sergeant
In Right to Rebel, First Sergeant (1SG) is a rank (Administratively known as First Sergeant E-8 (1SG)). When you are talking about the First Sergeant you are talking about the lifeblood of the Army. There can be no substitute of this position nor any question of its importance. When First Sergeants are exceptional, their units are exceptional, regardless of any other single personality involved. Perhaps their rank insignia should be the keystone rather than the traditional diamond. It is the First Sergeant at whom almost all unit operations merge.

Anyone who holds the billet of the First Sergeant is called by First Sergeant, regardless of actual administrative rank.
