The
Private 1st Class's Role and Responsibilities
Private 1st Class (PFC) is your first step in becoming an integral
part of the Marine Corps. As a Marine Corps PFC you are the backbone
of the Marines. Your job will be to apply your training and continue
to learn and develop new skills. You will be expected to follow all
orders and tasking given by higher-ranked supervisors.
Private First Classes (PFC) are the basic workforce strength
and rank of the Marine Corps.
The PFC Promotion Process
Company commanders have the authority to promote active duty enlisted
Marines to the rank of PFC (E-2) when they have completed six months
of service. This promotion is virtually automatic for those who meet
the basic promotion criteria.
