Which designation corresponds to E-3?

• A. c/Airman First Class (c/A1C)
• B. c/Airman (c/Amn)
• C. c/Airman Basic (c/AB)
• D. c/Senior Airman (c/SrA)

Answer: (A)

Enlisted ranks are tied to specific titles that follow the pay grade sequence. For E-3, the title is Airman First Class, often abbreviated A1C. In cadet contexts you might see it written as c/Airman First Class (c/A1C), which matches the E-3 designation. This rank sits between Airman Basic (E-1) and Senior Airman (E-4), so the correct title for E-3 is Airman First Class. The other common early ranks are Airman Basic for E-1 and Airman for E-2, while Senior Airman corresponds to E-4.
