Pay Grade----Rank

Enlisted Soldiers are the worker bees.

E-1-------------PVT (Private)
E-2-------------PV2 (Private)
E-3-------------PFC (Private First Class)
E-4-------------SPC (Specialist)*
E-4-------------CPL (Corporal)*
E-5-------------SGT (Sergeant)

E-7-------------SFC (Sergeant First Class
E-8-------------MSG (Master Sergeant)*
E-8-------------1SG (First Sergeant)*
E-9-------------SGM (Sergeant Major)*
E-9-------------CSM (Command Sergeant Major)*

*The difference between SPC and CPL is that CPL holds a Non-Commissioned Officer (E-5 to E-9) slot. A 1SG is in charge of a company and a MSG is not, he holds a staff position. A CSM is in charge of a Battalion or higher and SGM holds a staff position.*

Warrant Officers are Specialized or Technical Officers (maintenance or pilot)
