Army wide, not just rifle squads. When a man entered the army at boot camp (Basic Combat Infantryman Training) he was a E-1 PVT (no stripe). Upon graduation he may have received an excelerated promotion to E-2 PVT (one stripe, nick-named the "mosquito wing" by some of the men). This was the former PFC (Private First Class) insignia.

E-3 PFC was now a "one stripe mosquito wing" with a rocker underneath it; making a "tear drop" shaped insignia. Upon landing in South Vietnam nearly all Privates were automatically promoted to E-3 PFC.
