What rank is John 117?

I know its the master chief but what exactly does that mean? Is he higher then a general or.... ?

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

John is about 7ft tall, therefore higher than most generals.

On topic - belive it may be an NCO rank, any military buffs here ?

Master Chief is a navy rank whereas general is an army rank, so they aren't really comparable. However master chief is an enlisted rank, not an officer rank.

Not even close.

Master Chief is short for Master Chief Petty Officer, a Navy rank. Its about equal to a Army and Marine sergeant.

Since the Battle of Installation 00, John-117 has held the rank of "Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy", the highest non-commissioned rate in the navy.
The next step up from here is a commission at the rank of Lieutenant (junior grade). This is the final rank that Kurt-051 held and what Frederic-104 currently holds.


Edit: My bad, Kurt was a Lt.Commander during GoO.

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." - Albert Einstien

The rank of Master Chief Petty Officer is the highest rank in the Navy as an enlisted man. It is basically the top 1% of all enlisted naval personnel. It is more equivalent to a Sergeant Major than a Sergeant.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Petty Officer Master Chief is a high enough rank to order around anyone on the battlefield, but low enough to take orders from anyone off it.

I searched military ranks recently for a project. Master Chief is actually quite a low rank, lower than General, Captain and Commander. It's a US Navy rank. The full name is Master Chief Petty Officer.

This is all if my memory serves me correctly.

Yes,but according to cannon, and common sense, SPARTANS often serve as tactical advisors, even (respectfully) ordering around captains. This is mentioned in Halo: the Flood,and stated explicitly.

He ain't as high as me.

~v~

But in all seriousness, his rank, by the end of Halo 3, is Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, highest enlisted rank.

The highest ranking SPARTAN is still held by Fred-104, though, and all time it was Carter-259 until his supposed death.

John-117 is an MLG 50, a legitimate 50 in H2 and top 1% Onyx. Trufact.
