The lead sergeant of a platoon the uses mortars. Sounds simple but it was typically, in the Army, a Sargent First Class (E-7). He was the number 2 in command behind the platoon leader (usually a O2).\n\nMortars come in a variety of sizes, are used for up close attacks i.e. between grenades and artillery range.

I had trouble pulling up the picture, so I'm not 100% sure. Are you referring to the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, of which there is only ONE? The current SgtMaj (correct abbreviation?) is John L. Estrada. He is the 15th. Like I said, I can't pull up the pic, so I'm not 100% positive, but the link below has a picture of him so you can verify. It also has info concerning his time in the Corps., as well as info for the past 14 Sergeants Major.

In the U.S. Army there is no Marshall rank.  But it is a military rank. I believe that un some other countries, it is most likey an officer rank, so it's higher than sergeant.  Probably equivilent to a General.

It simply means 'sergeant in a city' police force.\n..I am only guessing when I add, that this designation may diffentiate a 'sergeant in city' [who will be serving under an inspector] from a sergeant in a rural locale - who would be possibly invested with extra powers, as there might not be an inspector to directly supervise him !

Specialist 4th Class.  They are often called Spec fours.  \n\nBasically you join up and are a private E-1 through basic training.  Next rank is private E-2, then moving up to Private First Class E-3.  Then it gets a little more complicated.  E-4 is either a Specialist 4th Class or a Corporal.  The difference between the two is that a Corporal is a leadership position.  Specialist is just that, a specialist.  After than come the Sergeant ranks.  Might just be easier looking at the link below.

Some years ago, my platoon sergeant took us on an unbelievably long, hilly run for pt.  After a while, one of the squad leaders asked how long we were going to run.  My platoon sergeant replied, "Until we stop."\nIt's an old line, been used many times before and since; but it applies just the same.

A Marine "Gunny" is another name for a Gunnery Sergeant, or the pay grade of E-7.  People say "Gunny" because saying "Gunnery Sergeant So and So" all the time takes too much time (all though Gunnery Sergeant is more formal).  Incidently, one of the two E-8 ranks in the Marine Corps is a Master Sergeant.  He can be called "Top" for short.
