 '''Private''' is the lowest enlisted rank of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and [[UNSC Army]], and is equal in rank to [[Crewman Recruit]] in the [[UNSC Navy]]. For most recruits into the Marine Corps and Army, upon completing basic training they become a Private, and are further assigned to a specific unit or platoon.
-In the present-day U.S. Army, there are two paygrades in the Private rank, PVT and PV2.  PVT is a non-insignia rank, meaning that privates (PVT) wear nothing to indicate their rank.  This rank is typically held for a period of six months or less after completing basic training, whereupon the soldier is promoted to Private(PV2), a rank indicated by a single chevron. The next rank up is Private First Class (PFC).
-In the present-day U.S. Marine Corps, there is only one paygrade in the Private rank, PVT.  It is also a non-insignia rank, and similarly to the Army, a private in the USMC is quickly promoted unless hampered by disciplinary or other reasons.  The next rank up is also PFC like the Army.
