The Army and the Marine Corps have a very similar rank structure, with all enlisted ranks displaying chevrons, with the exception of Privates (E-1 in both services, no markings) and Specialist (E-4 in the Army, similar in look to a parachute). The Navy uses chevrons in enlisted ranks E-4 through E-6, however the chevrons are inverted with the point directed down. The Airforce uses chevrons in enlisted ranks E-7 through E-9. So yes the military uses chevrons in all branches, but some are inverted, and are not applied to all ranks.

Generally, chevrons are located on the upper left sleeve, with the point of the chevron facing upward. The exact placement can vary slightly based on the uniform type, so it's important to refer to the official Marine Corps Uniform Regulations for precise instructions.
