Private First Class (PFC) (米国陸軍上等兵) in the U.S. Army is often referred to as a “one-striper” because they typically wear a single chevron insignia on their uniform. This chevron, which looks like a single stripe, signifies their rank. PFC is the third enlisted rank in the U.S. Army, following Private (E-1) and Private (E-2). It represents a higher level of experience and responsibility than the lower ranks. The term “one-striper” is a colloquial way of describing this rank based on the visual appearance of the insignia.
