For the first time, the title of address for this grade is not sergeant, but First Sergeant. There is a unique relationship of confidence and respect that exits between the First Sergeant and the Commander not found at another level within the Army. In the German Army, the First Sergeant is referred to as the Parent of the Company. He or she is the provider, the disciplinarian, the wise counselor, the tough and unbending foe, the confidant, the sounding board, everything that we need in a leader during our personal success or failure.
