There were some mistakes. All enlisted ranks have the filled in star. This was a change in the early 90's. Also SSgt and TSgt are three chevrons and number of rockers. MSgt and above call it an Arch.

What happened to SGT E-5 1977? It went E-3 A1C, E-4 Senior Airman, E-5 Sgt. then Staff, Tech...?
@johnkelly59493 жыл бұрын
No. E-4 was either senior airman or 'buck' sergeant. Upon promotion to E-4 you were a senior airman. The insignia was three stripes with a subdued star in the center. Eventually, you would become a sergeant and get a normal star in the center of the 3 stripes. I was in the air Force from 1965 to 1989. I really never understood the reasoning for that. They eventually did away with it. Just can't remember when.

When I first jointed they actually had E-4 Sergeant, or "Buck Sergeant". I believe it was as long as you didn't get into trouble, 1 year after making E-4 Senior Airmen, you would be awarded E-4 Sergeant. You didn't have to test to make E-4 Sergeant, just stay out of trouble and it would be awarded to you. I was actually an E-4 Sergeant, but later I make SSgt after testing for it. Not sure why they had E-4 Sergeant, I guess it was a way of giving you more responsibility (NCO) and not have to pay you extra for it?

@@johnkelly5949 Actually, back in the '60s a three striper Air Force rank was called "Airman First Class"...some new general comes along and decides to drop the center star...then, the next general returns the star to the enlisted ranks and renames the Airman ranks. Similar with elimination the Specialist 5 - 9 ranks of the United States Army.

If I remember correctly, Senior Airman had 3 stripes with a dark blue star, while buck sergeants had 3 stripes and a silver or white star. Has this changed or am I remembering wrong? This would have been in the 1980s.
