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.
