View source for Spacer First Class

'''Spacer First Class''' (''abbrev'': '''S1C''') is an [[enlisted]] paygrade within the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]], the [[Grayson Space Navy]], and the [[Republic of Haven Navy]].  It holds the equivalent military paygrade of [[E-3]] within {{trmn}} and is the higher rank before becoming a non-commissioned officer. A spacer is never referred to by their rank, but rather their rate. So a [[Environmental Technician]] who earned their third stripe would not be called "Spacer 1st Class," but rather "Environmental Tech 1st Class."

== Honorverse ==
In peacetime, a Spacer 1st Class would have served at least a Manticoran year, with nine months [[Time in grade | Time in Grade]].  The [[Grayson Space Navy]] uniform is blue with silver stripes. The [[Royal Manticoran Navy]] is black and the color of the stripes change depending on the specialty of the spacer.

== TRMN ==
If the spacer has completed their [[Basic Enlisted | Basic Enlisted Exam]], and served as an [[Spacer 2nd Class]] for five months [[Time in grade | Time in Grade]], they are promoted to this rank.
