	Duties of the First Sergeant
		The first sergeant is selected by the captain of the company from the other sergeants, without regard to rank, and commissioned by the commanding officer of the regiment.
		The first sergeant makes out the morning report and signs it, and then submits it to the commanding officer of the company for his signature, after which it is handed in to the regimental or post commander.
		The first sergeant, although he should be familiar with the duties of the sergeants and corporals, is seldom called upon to preform any duty that would remove him from his duties of his own position.

		First sergeants are the senior NCO (Non-Commissioned Officer) in the basic unit of the air force; the squadron.
		Currently, the air force is short about ten percent of their first sergeants, and part of the problem is that the job has gotten a lot harder in the last decade.
		This is why some air force first sergeants are E-9 (a rank used in the army and marines for Sergeants Major, the senior NCO in battalions and larger units.) Since the end of the Cold War, more women have been joining the air force, and more junior enlisted personnel are getting married, and having families.
