Yeah, #4 is just missing the words "Non Commissioned". The only NCO rank higher than CSM is "Sergeant Major of the Army" and the equivalents in the other services.
Militarily, a Second Lieutenant outranks a Command Sergeant Major, and all other enlisted personnel. But the 2LT who tries to "fuck around" with that fact will quickly "find out" how little his rank actually matters.
Removing the military rank structure, and comparing education and professional accomplishments as civilians, a Sergeant Major (E9) is roughly the equivalent of a Colonel (O6), and a CSM is comparable to a Brigadier General (O7).
