This was a WWII rank used between 1942 and 1948. There were 7 grades of rank. The 7th grade was the PVT-No insignia. The 6th grade was the PFC-one stripe. The 5th grade was the Corporal-two stripes and the Technician Fifth grade-two stripes with a T under them. The 4th Grade was the Sergeant-3 stripes and the Technician Fourth grade-Three stripes with a T under them. The 3rd grade was the Staff Sergeant-Three stripes and one rocker and the Technician Third grade-Three stripes and one rocker with a T under them. The 2nd grade was the Technical Sergeant-Three stripes and 2 rockers. The 1st grade was the Master Sergeant-Three stripes and Three rockers and the First Sergeant-Three stripes and Three rockers with a diamond in the middle. I found this on Google under WWII Army Ranks.

Many thanks, I'd seen it as I'd said, in various videos and/or movies, as well as read of it in either novels about military and/or historical topics, or historical works about WW2, I just had always left it in he back of my mind, and was obv just curious about it, I finally realized as I'd said, no one had ever raised it here, I just figured it'd be worthwhile bringing up, obviously, much appreciated, of course....
