Best Answer

The US Air Force was created from the US Army Air Corps, and the Army ranks were retained, so 2nd lieutenant is the lowest. The term 3rd lieutenant is used, but it applies to Air Force cadets (not officers yet) training on US Air Force bases.

Can enlisted marine switch to air force officer?

No. The only way to become an Air Force officer after being an enlisted Marine is to finish your contract and join the Air Force. Of course, you must have your degree to become a commissioned officer in any branch of service and the maximum age is 23 to enroll in a military prep school and be an officer. It can be difficult to move up the ranks so when you switch, you will lose your rank and that might not be (for lack of a better word) "motivating" for you.
