O-1 2nd Lieutenant

O-2 1st Lieutenant

O-3 Captain

O-4 Major

O-5 Lieutenant Colonel

O-6 Colonel

O-7 Brigadier General

O-8 Major General

O-9 Lieutenant General

O-10 General

Chief Warrant Officer (abbreviated: CWO):

CWO

CWO-2

CWO-3

CWO-4

CWO-5

Chief Warrant Officer ranks do not have any other titles (such as General or Sergeant). They are simply referred to by their pay grade.

It is a common misconception that the Gunner insignia is a separate rank. It resembles a bursting bomb. It is given to a Marine in a weapons company, usually to a Chief Warrant Officer, who is the most knowledgeable on all weapon systems. It is similar to a rate in the navy, which is separate from their ranks.
