What is the next rank after C/First Sergeant?

• A. C/Gunnery Sergeant
• B. C/Sergeant
• C. C/First Lieutenant
• D. C/Major

Answer: (A)

In a typical enlisted promotion path, you move up through a defined ladder of ranks, with each step bringing more responsibility. In this system, after reaching First Sergeant, the next higher enlisted rank is Gunnery Sergeant, so Gunnery Sergeant is the correct choice. The other options don’t fit because Sergeant sits below First Sergeant in the ladder, and First Lieutenant or Major are officer ranks, not part of the enlisted progression.
