What do the stripes on the left sleeve of an ww2 army uniform designate?
If you are referring to the triangular stripes on the arm of a uniform, it means that the soldier's rank would have been Sergeant. We call these stripes Chevrons. Some chevrons have a curve at the bottom. We call these Rockers.Others contain a lozenge (diamond) or a star in the middle. Chain of Command Ranks using Chevrons and Rockers to indicate rank are as follows: * Private, indicated by one chevron * Private First Class, indicated by one chevron with one rocker * Corporal, indicated by two chevrons * Sergeant, indicated by three chevrons * Staff Sergeant, indicated by three chevrons and one rocker * Sergeant First Class, indicated by three chevrons and two rockers * Master Sergeant, indicated by three chevrons and three rockers * First Sergeant, indicated by three chevrons, three rockers, and lozenge. * Sergaent Major, indicated by a star in the midddle of the chevrons and rockers. This position is appointed. * Command Sergeant Major, indicated by a winged star in the middle of the chevrons and rockers. This position is appointed. * Sergeant Major of the Army, indicated by an eagle flanked by two stars. This position is not combat oriented. Three stripes was the rank of a sergeant. A Private wore no stripes, a private first class had one stripe, and a corporal had two stripes.
How did the cold war affect you?
Me personally? I was a youngster at the height of the cold war. It was a perpetual bogeyman you hoped wouldn't come out of the closet. I remember two or three nights when I was a kid that my brothers and sisters and I went to bed at night, not totally sure we'd wake up again the next morning. The greatest joy of my life was that my kids did not have to grow up with that great a threat hanging over their heads.
