A first class score on the United States Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test is defined by one's age, and indicates the low end of a range up to the perfect score of 300: Ages 17 - 26: 225-300. Ages 27 - 39: 200-300. Ages 40 - 45: 175 - 300.
A Marine private first class has a pay grade of E-2. He is one step up from the lowest rank of private, or E-1, and one step away from being promoted to lance corporal, E-3. The pay for a private first class varies, depending on whether he has an active-duty or reserve status.
