First chief master sergeant

The rank of first chief master sergeant in the Armed Forces of the Philippines was passed in a bill filed by Senator Rodolfo Biazon back in July 2004. It is expected that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will sign it very soon, enabling the rank to be created.[1]

Rank's Aim
  • According to Bill Number 1286, the creation of the first chief master sergeant aims to professionalize the Armed Forces of the Philippines, especially in allowing its soldiers to choose a better career while serving in the army. The ranks are to be considered as non-commissioned officer ranks.[2]

gollark: They do not.
gollark: Partly.
gollark: Also the new rules.
gollark: Your past actions and various comments imply that I DEFINITELY SHOULD.
