They are long service and good conduct stripes (known as Badges) awarded to non-officers after lengths of service (in years). They are not ranks.
A sargeant has three stripes (also called chevrons) to show his rank. They are sown onto his brassard (a fabric strip worn on the right arm)
A Sergeant has three stripes in the US military and a Corporal has two (if the stripes are located on the upper arm). If the stripes are located on the lower arm and are better described as slashes (just above the wrist) those are indicators of time in the service. Each slash represents 3 years in the Army and 4 years per slash in the Marine Corps.
That is the rank of Sergeant.

The arm you don't write with
Etiquette does not dictate which arm to wear a watch. This is mostly a matter of preference but most people find it comfortable to wear it on the left arm.

two stripes probably refers to an "equal" sign, which is the symbol for the Human Rights Campaign.
