Before I list the Pay Grades for the military during the war, I decided I'd find out what members of each grade had for a rank.
These were the enlisted ranks during World War II. I will give Army first, Navy second and Marines third.
7th Pay Grade: Private / Apprentice Seaman / Private
6th Pay Grade: Private First Class / Seaman 2nd Class / Private First Class
5th Pay Grade: Corporal / Seaman First Class / Corporal
4th Pay Grade Sergeant / Coxswain / Sergeant
3rd Pay Grade: Staff Sergeant / Boatswain's Mate Mate 2nd Class / Platoon Sergeant
2nd Pay Grade: 1st Sergeant-Technical Sergeant / Boatswain's Mate 1st Class / Gunnery Sergeant
1st Pay Grade: Sergeant Major / Chief-Boatswain / Sergeant Major-Master Gunnery Sergeant

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
