How long does it take to become a Petty Officer First Class in the US Navy?
My veteran husband said it can take between 8-10 years to become a Petty Officer first class in the USN. Anyone aiming for that rank must work hard, do good work, be obedient, keep very fit and study and do well on tests. It can also vary depending upon the rating. Some ratings are in higher demand and have more opportunities to be promoted then others.

Who is the highest ranking officer out of a petty officer second class and a master chief petty officer?
The Master Chief is senior to a PO2, or to any other "enlisted" rating. In theory, all petty officers - even Master Chiefs - are junior to commissioned officers. In practice, a Master Chief is senior to an Ensign or a Lieutenant Junior Grade. And as a full Lieutenant in the USN, I didn't give "orders" to a Master Chief; I persuaded him that this was what he wanted to do. And in general, NOBODY gives orders to a Master Chief Petty Officer in the US Navy. For the most part, he can see what needs to be done, and the good ones have already done it. A Lieutenant Commander can give "priorities" to the Master Chief; which jobs need to be done FIRST.

Who is higher rank master chief or senior chief?
pretty much all officers. Master Chief is the highest rank possible for infantry and is not technically an officer so technically petty officer- general has rank on him FIrst the above answer contains incorrect information. The Ranks of Master Chief and Senior Chief are not used by the infantry which is the Army and Marines. The US Navy and US Coast Guard use the same rank structure and rank titles for their Officer Corps and Enlisted. A MCPO or Master Chief Petty Officer is the highest rank an enlisted member of the Navy or Coast Guard can earn. Just below a MCPO is a SCPO or Senior Chief Petty Officer. Any Petty Officer is refered to as a Non Commissioned Officer (Non-Com). Before the new uniforms came out Chief Petty Officers (Called Chief) , Senior Chiefs (Called Senior) and Master Chiefs (Called Masser Chief) all wore the same uniform as warrant officers and Commissioned Officers. Often a CPO SCPO or MCPO will handle the duies of an officer when an officer is unassigned to a position. FOr example when I served in the Navy, I was a Sonar Tech and we had both a CPO and SCPO in my division. The Officer assigned as ASWO (Anti-SUbmarine Warfare Officer.) transfered out before our new ASWO reported aboard. So STGCS (SW) Don Chapman Served as the ASWO for about a month. The Rank insignia for a CPO is a Gold Fouled Anchor wih the letters USN in silver. For a SCPO their is a SIlver Star atop the Anchor. For MCPO their is a star on each side of the anchor. For the MCPON (Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy) gets a third star on top of the anchor. There is only one MCPON at a time and he answers to the CNO (Chief of Naval Operations) who answers to the SecDef.
