Most notably, if a person decides to start his/her military career as a non-commissioned officer, "ha-sa" (staff sergeant) is the first rank given, and it's also the last rank before the discharge if he or she opts for discharge after finishing the mandatory service years, or fails to qualify for 'long-term service'. Instead of the horizontal bars of non-NCO enlisted ranks, they use chevrons as their rank insignia. In the Spanish military the enlisted ranks of "Sargento" and the more senior "Sargento Primero" are junior to the "Brigada" and senior to the ranks of "Cabo" (Corporal). Sergeant () of the Taiwanese military ranks above staff sergeant and below master sergeant third class, making it different from the armed forces of other countries where sergeant ranks lower than staff sergeant. The rank of sergeant exists in the Army, Air Force and the Marine Corps, and is equivalent to the petty officer first class in the Navy. In Sweden, "sergeant" is a military rank above "korpral" ("corporal") and below "förste sergeant" ("first sergeant"). The insignia of rank was changed in 2009 to resemble American and British sergeants. In Turkey, the rank of Çavuş (Sergeant) is above the rank of Onbaşı (Corporal). Insignia is two inverted chevrons, in red or camouflage pattern, depending on the dress. A sergeant in the Royal Marines and British Army wears three-point-down chevrons on their sleeve and usually serves as a platoon or troop sergeant, or in a specialist position. Staff sergeant (in technical units) or colour sergeant (In the Royal Marines and the infantry), is the next most senior rank, above which come warrant officers. The Household Cavalry use the rank of corporal of horse instead, the only regiments to preserve the old cavalry tradition of having corporals but not sergeants. A lance-sergeant (LSgt) was formerly a corporal acting in the capacity of a sergeant. The appointment now survives only in the Foot Guards and Honourable Artillery Company, where it is awarded to all corporals. A lance-sergeant wears three chevrons and belongs to the sergeants' mess, however, functionally he remains a corporal rather than an acting sergeant (e.g., he will typically command a section). In the Household Cavalry, the equivalent appointment is lance-corporal of horse.
