Hola,

Laura Gómez (asker) May 17, 2010:
In the Army and Marines, the first sergeant is often referred to as "Top," or "Top Kick." The nickname has obvious roots in that the first sergeant is the "top" enlisted person in the unit, and a "kick in the pants" is a motivation tool (not literally, at least in today's military) to get the troops into gear.

Top sergeant es una expresión coloquial que equivaldría al actual empleo de Suboficial Mayor, al que coloquialmente se le llama el "mayor" de la Unidad.
