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.
The anchor and three stripes on the left arm of a World War II navy uniform indicate the rank of a Petty Officer First Class in the U.S. Navy. The anchor symbolizes naval service, while the three stripes represent the rank insignia associated with this position, which typically involved leadership responsibilities and specialized skills. This insignia was part of the broader system used to denote various ranks within the naval hierarchy.
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 stripes on a soldier's sleeve, shows their rank: one stripe is Lance Corporal, two stripes is Corporal, three stripes is Sergeant, and so on.
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.
