As for the Marine Corps I can say no. Once a Marine is commissioned or warranted as an officer, their uniform will change all together. The only thing that will remain the same is his/her ribbons/medals. Even the material of the uniform changes to a more thicker wool type (not sure of is actual make up) material. The "Blood Stripe is thicker on the trousers, the emblems are made a different way and they loose the red piping. In some ways the uniform looses some of the fancy looks and it gains some new ones. As a prior enlisted Marine who turned to the Warrant Officer ranks, I can definitely tell you there is a lot more maintenance that goes into the officer uniform as well as the cost of it. Hope this answers your question.

First off, we need to know the location of these stripes. Are they two arched over three "V's" ? Those would be a chief (enlisted rating). If they are long stripes running diagonal on the sleeve, they represent time in service...ie, each one indicates 4 years of service. Hope this helps.
