Technician ranks were non-leadership NCO ranks for people who had technical experience in a certain field prior to enlisting. For example, if a truck driver was drafted to serve as a truck driver in the military, they could be promoted to a higher technician rank for their previous experience.
Tec4 would've been equivalent to a Specialist (E4) in the Army today, but wore a Corporal's chevrons with a "T" underneath it. The colouration of the Technician ranks was also a lighter colour than the standard NCO chevrons.

∙ 13y agoTech 4 was a WWII US Army rank, for men trained in technical specialties, such as radio men, mechanics and so on. It was the same pay grade as a buck sergeant, and the holders of the rank were usually called "sergeant". The insignia of the rank was three chevrons, just like a buck sergeant, but below the chevrons there was a capital "T".

∙ 12y agoTEC-5, or Technician Fifth Class, was a pay grade E-4, the same as a Corporal. In general, a Corporal was more likely to be in charge of other soldiers. A TEC-4 was at grade E-5, like a Sergeant. There were few if any TECs above that, but a TEC-3 wold have been E-6. In any case, the higher the number, the lower the grade.
Later the Army did away with TECs and created Specialists, which amounted to the same thing. However, a SP4, SP5, and so forth, had the same pay grade as the Specialist number--the higher the number, the higher the grade.
In the 1980s, they did away with SP5 and higher, and SP4 bacame SPC, or just Specialist with no number.

∙ 11y agoA Tec 5 had the same pay as a Sergeant, but did not have the authority of an NCO. Soldiers who enlisted from or were drafted from the civilian workforce often had experience in a trade which the military needed. For example, someone who was a welder in the civil sector might be drafted and assigned as a welder in the Army. Rather than start them off as a Private, their pay grade would be measured in accordance with the amount of technical skills and experience they possessed.
