A dick Master Sergeant...he's a Master Sergeant.
A Sergeant Major or First Sergeant...he's a Sergeant Major or First Sergeant.

Thats how I remember it. Only MSgt was referred to as that. </div></div>
+1, MSgt = Top, 1stSgt = 1stSgt, Master Gunnery Sgt = Master Guns, SgtMaj = SgtMaj
If we would have called SgtMaj or our 1stSgt "Top" we would still be field daying the head, right after at trip to Sick Bay for a "training accident".
