Specialist is a rank - Pay Grade E-4 - which is classed as lower enlisted. Pay is equal to that of a Corporal, but Corporal is the higher rank of the two (Corporal is a noncommissioned officer rank, Specialist is not).
major is a higher rank than sargeant rank.
There isn't a specific rank attributed to it. Generally, a tank gunner would be Private (E1) through Specialist (E4). Field Artillery would be more the same. There is a Gunnery Sargeant in the Marines.
Specialist 5 - it's a discontinued Army rank. A Specialist got the same pay as a Sergeant (also pay grade E5), but was not a noncommissioned officer.

SPC is the abbreviation for Specialist. Currently, there is only one grade of Specialist - E4. Specialist grades used to go all the way up to E9 (although the Specialist 9 or SP9 was only theoretical - nobody had ever actually been awarded that rank). At that time, the E4 Specialist was abbreviated as SP4. However, all the Specialist grades above E4 have since been done away with, so there was no need to indicate the pay grade with the rank, thus the abbreviation became SPC.
The E-8 Specialist rank is not equivalent to a Sergeant rank. In the Army, the E-8 Specialist is a higher enlisted rank compared to the E-5 Sergeant rank. The E-8 Specialist is a non-commissioned officer with greater leadership responsibilities and experience.
The rank of Sargeant has the insignia of three downward-pointing chevrons.
You start out with a higher rank and higher pay grade.
