A child with AD/HD [ A.D.D. OR ADHD ] is usually described as having a short attention span and as being distractible. In actuality, distractibility and inattentiveness are not synonymous. Distractibility refers to the short attention span and the ease with which some children can be pulled off-task.
Both the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps authorizes service stripes to those service members for every four years of service. In cases where a disciplinary infraction has occurred, the service member is not denied a service stripe but simply is authorized the standard red stripe design.
Count the stripes. As with the Air Force, Army stripes begin with one stripe at the rank of E-2, denoting Private. However, E-3 Private First Class adds a stripe below the top stripe, creating a gap in between, while E-4 Corporal eliminates the gap and stacks two top stripes. You will simply have to remember these.
