SP4 is a Specialist, E-4, which is one step (rank) above a PFC, Private 1st class, E-3 and one step (rank) below a Sergeant, Sgt., E-5. A Private is an E-1 which is the rank most soldiers get out of boot camp. I still believe that this basic rank structure is the same as it was when I was in the Army 35 years ago. I don't know if the rank of Corporal is still used as it was or is an E-4 or at least a rank above a PFC. A Sgt., E-5 is usually a squad leader but depending on the staffing or circumstances could act as a platoon Sgt. This position is usually held by an E-6 and sometimes an E-7. The head NCO, Non-Commisioned Officer of an Army Company, is usually an E-8 which is a 1st Sergeant. The 'top dog' NCO in a battalion or Unit is the Command Sergeant Major. I think I got it right.

General George McClellan during the Civil War, General Douglas MacArthur during the Korean War, and now, General McChrystal. McClellan was an arrogant, but brilliant general, replaced by the drunken idiot Ulysses S. Grant. MacArthur led the fight to defeat the Japanese in World War II. McChrystal is a supremely intelligent, extremely skilled warrior who had the misfortune and, perhaps, bad judgement, to speak his mind in front of a reporter from Rolling Stone. Whether he was right or wrong is not under debate. In our free country, you're not allowed to think the President is a dunce.

The title he used was "Lord Protector" (of the Protestant faith), and his name was Oliver Cromwell.

Question is sort of hard to understand but I will answer what I think you are asking. Ranks E-1 through E-3 are automatic and time based. E4, which is a 3rd class PO is made by taking a test, that test combined with your evaluation (eval is a report written by the sailors immediate supervisor on the sailors performance on the job) will give you a score. If you advance or not is dependent on the total score. Lets say his score was 150 and the score to make rate was 130 (called the multiple). He advances to the next pay grade. Most commands will have what they call a frocking ceremony where people put on their new rating badges with the proper rank. Everyone who advanced participates. However not everyone is paid the next pay period as the next pay grade. Depending on how well you did on the test is when you will get paid. If you were in the top tier it will be one month if you are lower it could be as long as 4 or 5 months maybe more sometimes.

Some options are promotion, commissioning, or enlisting.

You should be in the pay grade of E-5 thru E-7 (enlisted) and officer any grade.

E-7 and above are Senior Non-Commissioned Officers not E-6s in the Army.

Admiral of the Fleet is a five-star admiral. This was a rank created near the end of WWII in the US Navy, and bestowed upon King, Nimitz, Halsey and Leahy.

The official title of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was not created until 1949 when Omar Bradley took the position.

It varies between uniforms. On the formal uniforms (Class A, Dress Blues), the rank insignia (three chevrons pointing upwards) is worn mid-sleeve on either side. If the trench coat is worn with this uniform, then metallic pin-on rank insignia is worn on the collar points.

On the Class B uniform (dress uniform with either short sleeve button up shirt or long sleeve button up shirt), the rank insignia is sewn into black shoulder boards which are worn on the epaulets.

On the phased out Battle Dress Uniform (BDUs) and Desert Combat Uniform (DCUs), the rank insignia was worn on the collar points, and could either be sewn on fabric insignia, or pin-on fabric insignia.

On the Army Combat Uniform (which replaced the BDUs and DCUs), the rank insignia is fabric - black chevrons sewn onto an olive background. This is velcro backed, and is affixed to a velcro tab on the front of the ACU top.

Enlisted personnel do not wear rank on the beret, but, on the patrol cap and kevlar helmet, it is worn on the front, either in sewn on fabric form, or pin on metallic form.
