Here are your Rankings in the Marines:
OFFICERS:
General: 4 Stars
Lieutenant General: 3 Stars
Major General: 2 Stars
Brigadier General: 1 Star
Colonel: Silver Eagle
Lt. Colonel: Silver Oak Leaf
Major: Gold Oak Leaf
Captain: 2 SIlver Bars
1st Lt.: 1 Silver Bar
2nd Lt: 1 Gold Bar
ENLISTED:
Sergeant Major/Master Gunnery Sergeant
1st Sergeant/Master Sergeant
Gunnery Sergeant
Staff Sergeant
Sergeant
Corporal
Lance Corporal
Private First Class
Private
Highest Ranking Marine ( Officer ): Commandant of the Marine Corp ( usually a 4 Star General )
*note: current Armed Forces Chief of Staff is a Marine General...this is a post appointed by the President and can go to any service branch member.
Highest Ranking Marine ( Enlisted ) Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps
Now, in between the ENLISTED and OFFICERS, there is a category called WARRANT OFFICERS> These are specialty personnel who warrant the rights as officers, but come from the enlisted ranks. They rate higher than any enlisted, but are considered lower ranking than a 2nd Lt. Rankings as such go from Warrant Officer to Chief Warrant Officer 5....In fact, they are the ONLY Officers in the Marine Corps authorized to wear a Campaign COver ( DI "Smoky Bear" )

Highest enlisted rank in the Marines is a E-9 which is a Sgt Major or Master Gunnery Sgt.. The Sgt Major of the Marine Corps is a position which has the rank of E-9..and only one Marine has this position at one time. The highest officer rank is the 4 star general and the highest position in the officer side of the house is the Commandant of the Marine Corps which is a 4 star general
