21 MAY 2020 (Delayed entry) Notes for incoming transfer, sighted; added gender. 1) FAG does not have drop-down menu choice for the correct rank, though this is a common rank - Technician Fifth Grade (abbreviated as T/5 or TEC 5) was a United States Army technician rank during World War II. In many Army units, those who held this rank were addressed as Corporal, though were sometimes called a "Tech Corporal". Technicians possessed specialized skills that were rewarded with a higher pay grade, but had no command authority. The pay grade number corresponded with the technician's rank. T/5 was under the pay grade 5, along with Corporal. Technicians were easily distinguished by the "T" imprinted on the standard chevron design for that pay grade.
