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.
