Chevron is a type a gas station that you can get gas but this kind of gas station is better for your car because they put TECHRON in their gas
Above is a corporate reference to a chevron, and indeed a chevron does appear in this company's corporate logo. The actual chevron, however, is an inverted V-shaped pattern. Another place you might find a chevron is on a badge or insignia used in military or police uniforms. It indicates rank or length of service. The chevron is often referred to by soldiers as their stripes.

What was the USN ranks during World War 2?
The U.S. Navy's rank structure is made up of 3 primary groups, with variations on each:Enlisted - The enlisted community form the backbone of the Navy, and are responsible for performing most of the shipboard or base operations on a daily basis. Enlisted sailors are technical specialists in their fields, and it is the primary function of senior enlisted sailors to help train junior officers, as well as to lead and train junior enlisted sailors.Warrant Officer - Warrant Officers are commissioned officers with a focus on a specific technical area not covered by regular commissioned line officers, who have a broader based focus concerning operations. They are typically senior enlisted sailors who have received commissions. Their rank insignia shows their specialty.Commissioned Officers - Commissioned Officers fall into 3 groups: Unrestricted Line, Restricted Line, and Staff Corps. Unrestricted Line Officers are the ones who command and lead combat units. Restricted Line Officers are those who perform specific functions within those commands, e.g., Engineers. Staff Corps Officers are those in other specialty areas - Chaplain Corps, Medical, Supply, etc.ENLISTED RANKSFor the first 3 ranks, the designation is based on the sailor's area of training (strikers); regular operations, engineering, or aviation. At E-4 (Petty Officer 3rd Class, the Navy's Non-Commissioned Officer ranks), the individual rate specialty is designated on their rank insignia. The following information is presented as paygrade, rank, and insignia, from lowest to highest:StrikersStrikers are sailors who haven't chosen a specific career path, but are in one of 3 technical disciplines - Seaman, Fireman (Engineering Rates), and Airman (Aviation Rates). The stripes are White, Red, and Green respectively.E-1 - Seaman/Fireman/Airman Recruit (SR, FR, AR) - 1 stripeE-2 - Seaman/Fireman/Airman Apprentice (SA, FA, AA) - 2 stripesE-3 - Seaman/Fireman/Airman (SN, FN, AN)- 3 stripesNon-Commissioned Officers (Petty Officers)E-4 - Petty Officer 3rd Class - 1 ChevronE-5 - Petty Officer 2nd Class - 2 ChevronsE-6 - Petty Officer 1st Class - 3 ChevronsE-7 - Chief Petty Officer - 3 Chevrons w/capE-8 - Senior Chief Petty Officer - 3 Chevrons w/cap, 1 silver starE-9 - Master Chief Petty Officer - 3 Chevrons w/cap, 2 silver starsThe ranks of Command Master Chief, Force Master Chief or Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy still hold the paygrade of E-9; however, their positions entitle them to distinguishing rank insignia above other E-9's. The standard insignia for a Master Chief is 3 Chevrons w/cap, 2 silver stars, with a small rating badge as part of the overall insignia. For Command Master Chief, the rating insignia is replaced with one large silver star in addition to the standard 2 small silver stars of the rank; Force Master Chief, 1 large gold star and 2 small gold stars; and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, 1 large gold star and 3 small gold stars.The designation is presented as rate and rank, with any warfare designation afterward. For example, my rate/rank/warfare designation was STS1/SS, which stands for Sonar Technician (Submarines) First Class, Submersible Ships (Submarine Warfare Qualified).For Recruits and Strikers, their stripes indicate the area they're training in: White for regular sailors, Red for Engineering rates, Green for Aviation rates.For Petty Officers, Chevrons and 4-year hash marks red (red, worn on blues, and blue, worn on whites, worn on the left sleeve) until the sailor achieves 12 consecutive years of Good Conduct, at which point they are entitled to gold chevrons and gold sleeve stripes (4 years for each stripe).CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER RANKSChief Warrant Officers are taken from the senior enlisted ranks, and are members who have completed the CWO program. After accepting a commission, they serve in their particular technical specialty, unlike commissioned line officers.W-2 - Chief Warrant Officer 2 - Black Epaulet with technical specialty insignia, 2 vertical gold bars over blue field.W-3 - Chief Warrant Officer 3 - Black Epaulet with technical specialty insignia, 3 vertical gold bars over blue field.W-4 - Chief Warrant Officer 4 - Black Epaulet with technical specialty insignia, 2 horizontal gold bars over blue field.W-5 - Chief Warrant Officer 5 - Black Epaulet with technical specialty insignia, 4 horizontal gold bars over blue field.COMMISSIONED OFFICER RANKSO-1 - Ensign - Black Epaulet w/ 1 gold star and 1" gold stripeO-2 - Lieutenant (Junior Grade (Lt.(JG)) - Black Epaulet w/ 1 gold star, one 1" gold stripe, and one 1/2" gold stripe.O-3 - Lieutenant - Black Epaulet w/ 1 gold star, two 1" gold stripes.O-4 - Lieutenant Commander - Black Epaulet w/ 1 gold star, two 1" gold stripes, and one 1/2" gold stripe.O-5 - Commander - Black Epaulet w/ 1 gold star, three 1" gold stripes.O-6 - Captain - Black Epaulet w/ 1 gold star, 4 1" gold stripes.O-7 - Rear Admiral (Lower Half) - Gold Epaulet w/ 1 silver star.O-8 - Rear Admiral - Gold Epaulet w/ 2 silver stars.O-9 - Vice Admiral - Gold Epaulet w/ 3 silver stars.O-10 - Admiral - Gold Epaulet w/ 4 silver stars.O-11 - Fleet Admiral - Gold Epaulet w/ 5 silver stars (currently inactive)Line Officers have fouled anchor insignia (Admirals) or stars/gold rank bars on their epaulets, while Staff Corps Officers will have their specialty insignia on their epaulet instead, e.g., a gold caduceus on a Medical Officer's epaulet along with rank bars.The 4-Star rank of Admiral is actually an appointed rank that comes with the position of appointment. Admirals considered for 4-Star positions are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. For example, the Chief of Naval Operations and Vice Chief of Naval Operations are both 4-Star ranks, but after they leave, they revert to their previous rank. For retirement pay purposes though, they receive the rate of their highest rank.The reason that 4-Star Admirals revert to their previous ranks is that by law, there is a specific cap limit on how many Admirals there can be, and that number is 216. Of those, only 16.3% can be of 2-Star rank, and of that percentage, only 25% can hold 4-Star rank positions. This equates to 9 Admirals.The 4-Star position includes the Coast Guard, Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and NOAA Commissioned Corps for cap limit purposes. By law, several positions are reserved for 4-Star Admirals:Chief of Naval OperationsVice Chief of Naval OperationsDirector, Naval Nuclear Propulsion (Naval Reactors)Commandant of the Coast GuardPublic Health Service Commissioned Corps (if appointed)Some positions, however, don't count toward the limit - e.g., Director of Central Intelligence, Joint Command (Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, etc.). Of course in time of war or emergency the President can waive the cap rules.The 5-Star rank of Fleet Admiral is a ceremonial one, and hasn't been held for about 44 years. The rank is held until the person dies - the last one to hold the position was Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, who died in February 1966.Please see the related links to the U.S. Navy website for further information.
