While all Air Force military personnel are referred to as Airmen, it can specifically refer to the pay grades of E-1 through E-4 which are below the level of non-commissioned officers (NCOs). Above the paygrade of E-4 (E-5 through E-9) all ranks fall into the category of NCO and are further subdivided into NCOs (E-5 & E-6) and Senior NCOs (E-7 through E-9). The term Junior NCO is sometimes used to refer to staff sergeants and technical sergeants (E-5 & E-6), though this is normally regarded as a misnomer. The US Air Force is also the only one of the 4 branches of the American military where NCO status is achieved at the grade of E-5. In all other branches NCO status is archived at the grade of E-4 (Corporal in the United States Army and United States Marine Corps, Petty Officer Third Class in the Untied States Navy) A non-commissioned officer (sometimes noncommissioned officer), or NCO, is an enlisted member of an armed force who has been delegated leadership or command authority by a commissioned officer. ...
