Interesting.. In the U.S. Navy the Master Chief Petty Officer is the highest enlisted rank with a pay grade of E-9. Starting salary of $5473 a month plus allowances (housing, uniform, sea pay, hazardous duty pay, flight pay etc,) Less than 1% of all enlistees into the navy will make it to Master Chief Petty officer. Those people who hold the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer are considered among the best and brightest of all Navy personnel. (That includes admirals too)
