Which rank corresponds to pay grade E-2 in the Air Force?

• A. Airman
• B. Airman First Class
• C. Senior Airman
• D. Technical Sergeant

Answer: (A)

Understanding how pay grades map to rank titles is the key idea here. In the Air Force, enlisted personnel have pay grades E-1 through E-9, and each grade has a specific rank name. For pay grade E-2, the official rank title is Airman. This sits one step above E-1 (Airman Basic) and before E-3 (Airman First Class). So when asked which rank matches E-2, Airman is the correct title. The other options are higher ranks: Airman First Class is E-3, Senior Airman is E-4, and Technical Sergeant is E-6.
