Master Sergeant (MSgt) Chevrons, Sew On

Chevrons are sold one pair per pack. Master Sergeants (MSgt) wear a chevron of six stripes with a silver star in the center. One of the six stripes is in an inverted V position above the star. Pay grade is E-7. MSgts function primarily in craftsman and supervisory positions as they prepare for more advanced leadership and management positions. MSgts hold a 7-skill level. This rank carries significantly increased responsibilities and requires a broad technical and managerial perspective. MSgt selects should enroll in and complete the Air Force Senior Noncommissioned Officer PME course. The official term of address is “master sergeant” or “sergeant.”
