Best Answer

No. Private First Class is E3, whereas a Specialist is E4. You can enter the Army as a Specialist if you have a four year degree. However, you would still be considered a cherry, and could find yourself in a position to where you would be subordinate to a Private First Class.

What does SP army rank mean?

Nonexistent. There used to be several grades of Specialist ranks. They would be paid the same as the NCO rank in the same pay grade, but would not be NCOs. They would be SP4 (E4), SP5 (E5), SP6 (E6), SP7 (E7), SP8 (E8), and SP9 (E9). Eventually, most of these were done away with, leaving only the SP4 rank, which was known simply as Specialist, and the abbreviation changed to SPC. There was never a Specialist 3 (SP3) - the only rank in that pay grade is Private First Class.


Is a first private the same as private?

I'll assume you're referring to the rank of Private First Class, as there is no "first private" rank. In the US Army, you have four lower enlisted ranks. These are ranks below a noncommissioned officer. They are Private (E1), Private (E2), Private First Class (E3), and Specialist (E4). A Private First Class does get paid more than an E1 or E2. Now, whether they actually have any seniority is dependent. You can enter the US Army as a Private First Class with three or more years of Junior ROTC. However, when you finish your Initial Entry Training, and report in to your unit, you're not going to be considered senior in any way over an E2 who has six months or more of service already.
