Private first class

Private First Class, or PFC, is the second enlisted rank in the UNSC Marine Corps and third in the UNSC Army, and is equal in rank to Crewman Apprentice in the UNSC Navy. A Marine can attain the rank of Private First Class out of boot camp if they show exceptional leadership in their platoon. In the Marine Corps, it is one rank above Private, and one rank under Lance Corporal.

Insignia
The UNSC Marine Corps enlisted insignia follows the same design as the United States Marine Corps, 500 years earlier. The ranks use the Marine Corps colors of scarlet and gold with the chevron being gold with a scarlet outline. The UNSC Army ranks can only be assumed to follow the same color scheme as the United States Army of a beige chevron and a green outline.
