Bateluer the Senior Airman becomes Bateluer the Staff Sergeant. 
Two weeks from now, I'll actually be getting paid for the work I've been doing for the last 9 months.
My supervision also wasted no time making me the RO of two airman, an A1C and a SrA, should be interesting.
From the Wiki since I don't feel like explaining the rank to the non military ATOT members.
Staff Sergeant (SSgt) is E-5 in the U.S. Air Force, just above Senior Airman and below Technical Sergeant, with a US Military Pay Grade of E-5. It is the Air Force's first non-commissioned officer rank as well as the first Air Force rank to which promotion is on a competitive basis. Senior Airmen are considered for promotion if they attain that rank on or before March 1st of that testing year (this is so that they will have a minimum of 6 months time-in-rank before the first promotion date of that testing year - September 1st). Staff Sergeants are expected to be technically proficient and function as first-line supervisors within a workcenter. After being selected for promotion Senior Airmen must attend Airman Leadership School, which teaches them basic leadership and how to write performance reports.
