United States
In the United States, First Sergeant is the title given to holders of certain ranks and positions within the United States armed forces that equate to a Company Sergeant Major, and generally serve as the senior enlisted advisor of a unit. While the specifics of the title may differ between the United States Army, Marine Corps and Air Force, all first sergeants can be identified by the presence of a lozenge (colloquially "diamond") shaped figure on their rank insignia.

“I hate to do what everybody else is doing. Why, only last week, on Fifth Avenue and some cross streets, I noticed that every feminine citizen of these United States wore an artificial posy on her coat or gown. I came home and ripped off every one of the really lovely refrigerator blossoms that were sewn on my own bodices.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“In the United States there is more space where nobody is is than where anybody is.”

“Steal away and stay away.
Don’t join too many gangs. Join few if any.
Join the United States and join the family
But not much in between unless a college.”
