Introducing project “Military Insignia 3D”, featuring top quality military heraldry designs. Here you will find customizable apparel, accessories, custom postage and gifts decorated with rank insignia of a U.S. Marine First Lieutenant (USMC 1stLt). In the United States Marine Corps, a first lieutenant is a junior commissioned officer. It is just above the rank of second lieutenant and just below the rank of captain. It is equivalent to the rank of lieutenant (junior grade) in the other uniformed services. A second lieutenant (grade O-1) is usually promoted to first lieutenant (grade O-2) after 24 months in the Marine Corps. The difference between the two ranks is slight, primarily being experience and higher pay. It is not uncommon to see officers moved to positions requiring more experience after promotion to first lieutenant. For example, in the Marine Corps these positions can include leading a specialty platoon, or assignment as the executive officer for a company-sized unit (70-250 marines).
