Chevrons are like army stripes on a sleeve.
Sgt. Snorkel typically wears three stripes on the sleeve of his uniform, indicating his rank as a 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.

There is no rank like this in the Navy. The largest number of stripes would be a Fleet Admiral with four thin and one thick gold strip. A diagonal slash mark is an enlisted award for good conduct and there could be six of them.
2 inches from the end of the sleeve at a 45 degree angle.
on the short sleeve it should be centered halfway between the shoulder sleeve seam and the hem. On the jacket and the long sleeve shirt it should be centered halfway between the shoulder and the elbow (with the elbow bent at a 90 degree angle)
A large, red check mark designates an incorrect answer. The many stripes on his sleeve designate that he's a high ranking officer.
First off, we need to know the location of these stripes. Are they two arched over three "V's" ? Those would be a chief (enlisted rating). If they are long stripes running diagonal on the sleeve, they represent time in service...ie, each one indicates 4 years of service. Hope this helps.
In the Army... The stripes on the left forearm of the service jacket are Service Stripes. You get one per three years of active duty. The stripes on the right forearm are Overseas Service Stripes. You get one per six months of duty in a combat zone.
