At one of my instructor leadership classes for Navy Cadets there was a young veteran volunteer who claimed he was a "Buck Sargent". I didn't pay it much mind but wanted to check in with you Army guys and get a sitrep on the term. Honestly I have never heard it used before except maybe in the movie Patton. Thanks in advance.

Staff sergeants like to use the term every now and then. It is informal, but I never addressed myself as a buck sergeant.

Thanks to all my Army Brothers and Sisters for all the feed back and setting me straight on this topic. Being a Navy/Marine guy we have a lot of terms used for different ranks as well. Captain (Skipper) Marine Warrant Officer (Gunner) Marine MSGT (TOP) and so on. Guess we are all in the same ship after all.
