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.
Sleeve stripes are worn only by enlisted personnel. U.S. Army soldiers, U.S. Navy sailors, and U.S. Coast Guardsmen wear their stripes on the bottom cuff of the left sleeve, where Marines wear them at the bottom cuff of both sleeves. U.S. soldiers wear them on the left sleeve and Overseas Service Bars on the right one.
