Where does that rank fall in the list of rankings? Is it above a colonel? Is it private, major, lt, capt, col, lt col ?

Sumi, the ranking in the Air Force, which is the same as Army rankings, is: Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, General. Each General gets another star on her collar: the only five-star general is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
And apparently I forgot the levels of lieutenants. Ah, well.

They have Airmen. And sergeants and such as NCOs.
Tech Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Master Sergeant as I recall from my Dad's service. Might've changed since then.

It's all spelled out on the page I linked to, as well as rankings in the rest of the military. Commissioned, NCOs, warrant officers, a bunch of stuff I don't actually understand.

Well there's a statement that's ripe for mis-interpretation...

Something that doesn't involve genitalia.

Unless there's a warrant out on your goolies.
