Sergeant - Army

The sergeant rank (Samal) is a pear of cotton tripled striped rank, in the shades of dark green and white.

It is worn on each arm and indicates usually the service period of eighteen months and on.

The Sergeant rank followes the Corporal. In some cases the Corporal will be granted with the rank of Sergeant as reward for excellencies in course or in case the job requires this rank.

The time of waiting may be shortened between the ranks of Corporal and Sergeant when successfully passing a Sergeant's course. It is most common among platoon sergeants.
