I am watching the movie Gunner Palace and they keep showing people with the letters SPC in front of them.  What class or division is this?

in the army, it is the rank of " Specialist". not quite an NCO, and not quite a private.
ah , tha sham -shield......

SPC= Specialist. E-4 pay grade without making the person a Corporal which is a NCO rank/title.  Is sometimes referred to as Full Bird Private based on the rank insignia.

I'm about 1/2 through it.  

Very interesting.  I'd say it's worth watching it.  They show ALOT of things the media would never show in the mainstream news.  

I don't like the rap that much but it is some peoples personality so I have no problem with it.

Also known as the Sham-Shield . . . all shiite rolls down hill, but until you have more than one chevron . . . none of it sticks.

Again . . . they can be known as the Spec-4 mafia.  Always hanging around, no visible means of support.  They have no responsibility so they cannot be convicted.

And to think I left that for OCS . . .

Those that enter the US Army with 60 or more college credit hours , enter with the rank of E-4(SPC). Same pay as jr NCO but with half of  the responsibility

I thought there were other ranks of specialist, such as E-3 through E-1.  Where do they fit in?

They used to have spc 5's, etc. Those were eliminated years ago.

That raised a question.  What's the difference between an Air Farce Master Sgt, and an Air Farce Master Sgt with diamond?

1st shirt. an air force e-8 is either a msgt (no diamond) or a 1stsgt (w/diamond). the diff between those is the same as the diff between a spc and a cpl; the latter has more responsibility or troop leading duties than the former.
