First lieutenant
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings Template:Rank Infobox First Lieutenant is a junior, company grade commissioned officer rank of the UNSC Marine Corps, Army, and Air Force, equal in rank to Lieutenant, Junior Grade in the UNSC Navy. They usually serve as the XO (executive officer) of a Company, but can be given command of platoons, such as the case of First Lieutenant Melissa McKay in Halo: The Flood.
A Second Lieutenant usually receives a promotion to First Lieutenant after 18 to 24 months service.
In informal settings, First Lieutenants are referred to simply as "Lieutenant" or "LT".
Trivia
- In Halo: Reach, it isn't uncommon to have one or sometimes two First Lieutenants in your fireteams. This is incredibly odd, as it'd be rare to see so many Lieutenants together in the vicinity.
