| | Pay Grade of AC Commissioned Officers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) |
 | | The last four pay grades are reserved for general officers in the Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force, and flag officers in the Navy. |
 | | The ranks associated with each pay grade are as follows: in the Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force, brigadier general (O-7), major general (O-8), lieutenant general (O-9), and general (O-10); in the Navy, rear admiral-lower half, rear admiral-upper half, vice admiral, and admiral. |
 | | This pay grade distribution is influenced not only by the military's emphasis on youth and fitness, but also by the choices and competition engendered by "up or out" career progression policies. |
