Spc3 stands for Specialist 3, a US Air Force and Space Force rank abbreviation.

Space Force enlisted rank at pay grade E-3, the grade at which many Guardians are working their first operational crew positions on satellite command, missile warning or cyber defense crews under the supervision of more senior members.

Example: Spc3 Okafor certified as a satellite operator on the GPS crew last month.

Usage notes

Equal to an Air Force Airman First Class (A1C), an Army private first class and a Navy seaman. Because the Space Force is the smallest armed service, junior Guardians often take on operational responsibility early. Written Spc3, never SPC3.
