I believe it's chief, not cheif.
You really think "Master Chief" sounds cool? Hmm...
This is the far future we're talking about. You do not play a member of the United States Armed Forces. I very much doubt there still is a US in Halo's universe. Bungie can do whatever the hell they want with ranks, because this is science fiction. I don't think an evil empire called the Covenant is going to chase us to a giant ring planet, but I'm not complaining.
