Default what rank is this army uniform and worth $?

got it from a rental house...it was left behind.... it is in pretty good shape but does have a few small holes here and there.

I have no idea how to read what level "captian, etc...." and no idea what kind of $ it is worth (or many none).

thanks

Put it on eBay Iraq. I'm sure you'll get high dollar for it there.

It looks pretty old, not sure. I believe the hash marks on the lower sleeve represent how long the serviceman served... each mark is a certain amount of years. Wish I could tell ya more, that's a cool find.

Looks like Sergeant Major, which is pretty high up the enlisted chain.

wow...thanks..... the guy moved out of a house that I bought...he left it in the garage and said he didn't want it.... he had a pile of medals in a little glass thing that he said was all he needed.

Sargent Major sounds good.

Not sure what someone could use it for.

it is a 44R in case someone wants to make me an offer.
