Any way, the branches of the US armed forces take that rank structure
and
hang their own hats on it: for example, an e-3 in the Army is a Private
First Class, while the same e-3 in the Marine Corps is called a lance
corporal... and you got me what the Navy and the Air Corps (snickers)
call
that rank (sorry for that little interservice jab up there ;).
