The answer to this question will only serve to settle a debate as I have since been promoted to Sergeant. I work with an E-4 in the Air Force (Senior Airman). In the Air Force, since the elimination of "buck sergeant", E-4s are not considered NCOs. The Army has two kinds of E-4s, Corporals, who are NCOs, and Specialists, who are not. The Senior Airman claims that the "Air Force does not recognize Corporals as NCOs because they're E-4s and in the Air Force, E-4s are not NCOs". Is this true? Please cite some appropriate Air Force literature which will back me up, not a funny story that happened to you in 1976 on an aircraft carrier.
