A second lieutenant (<a href="/wiki/U.S._uniformed_services_pay_grades" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. uniformed services pay grades">grade</a> O-1) is usually promoted to first lieutenant (grade O-2) after 18 months in the Army or 24 months in the Marine Corps and Air Force. The difference between the two ranks is slight, primarily being experience and a higher pay grade. It is not uncommon to see officers moved to positions requiring more experience after promotion to first lieutenant. For example, in the Army and Marine Corps these positions can include leading a specialty <a href="/wiki/Platoon" title="Platoon">platoon</a>, or assignment as the <a href="/wiki/Executive_officer" title="Executive officer">executive officer</a> for a <a href="/wiki/Company_(military_unit)" title="Company (military unit)">company</a>-sized unit (70–250 soldiers or marines). In the Air Force, a first lieutenant may be a flight commander or section's officer in charge with varied supervisory responsibilities, including supervision of as many as 100+ personnel, although in a flying unit, a first lieutenant is a rated officer (pilot, navigator, or air battle manager) who has just finished training for his career field and has few supervisory responsibilities. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="U.S._Navy_and_U.S._Coast_Guard">U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=First_lieutenant&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Navy" title="United States Navy">U.S. Navy</a> and <a href="/wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard" title="United States Coast Guard">U.S. Coast Guard</a>, "first lieutenant" is the name of a <a href="/wiki/Billet" title="Billet">billet</a> and position title, rather than rank.
