What is a U.S. Army Special Forces E4?

A U.S. Army E4 is a Specialist. E4 is the lowest rank a U.S. Army soldier can enter the five Phase U.S. Army Special Forces Qualification Course (also called the Q Course). Since the U.S. Army Special Forces schooling lasts forty eight to fifty four weeks it's highly likey that assuming the U.S. Army soldier successfully completes the training, that they would be promoted to E5 (Sergeant) once transfered to a U.S. Army Special Forces Group. If a U.S. Army soldier candidate enters U.S. Army Special Forces Training, they cannot wear the U.S. Army Special Forces patch until they complete the training (meaning you don't get to wear a school's patch just because you got accepted to or entered the school, you have to successfully complete the training). U.S. Army Special Forces Training is not open to female soldiers.
