Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Something that doesn't involve genitalia.

Unless there's a warrant out on your goolies.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I have no idea what a warrant officer is or does.
Warrant officers are commissioned officers, but do not command troops. Sort of an officer version of the enlisted men's specialist ranks. A lot of Army helicopter pilots are warrant officers.
