Sam Wilson (Falcon's) Military Rank in The Winter Soldier

[ffutures]

Are we told Sam Wilson's rank in Captain America: The Winter Soldier?

We're told he's a specially trained USAF Pararescue veteran - looking at the Wikipedia article on this organisation, most of the notable people it mentions (e.g. the medal winners etc.) seem to be sergeants. Does it seem reasonable to give him that rank if it isn't mentioned in the film? Do we ever see him in uniform?

Comics are unfortunately no help because he has a completely different background there.

Thanks!

Air Force Pararescues are generally enlisted ranks. I don't think it was mentioned directly in the film (need to get it on video ASAP) but given the special equipment he was trained to use, I don't think a rank of Master Sergeant would be out of the question.

Thanks - this pretty much ties in with what others have said elsewhere, and my own guesses.
