Are you referring to the stripes by their cuffs, or the "rockers" under their chevrons? Rockers in conjunction with chevrons signify ranking. The stripes on their cuffs signify years of service. One stripe is equal to four years of continued service. Two stripes indicates the Marine has been in active service for no less than eight years, but less than twelve.

Why do sailors have three stripes on their collars?
The three thin white stripes that are found on the service dress blue uniform of the United States Navy, called 'piping', have a very interesting history. The vast majority of our naval uniform influence comes from the British. There is a belief that the three stripes represent the three major victories of Lord Admiral Nelson...but this is untrue. The piping was placed on the sailor's dress blue uniform to break up the solid blue of the uniform, and does not represent anything.
