What does a small green triangle mean in the millitary.?

Question

I'm actually just playing a role playing game, but I am told this is probably similar to real life. We play as covert opps, and this mission seems very un-realistic. I think I was told that the characters in Splinter Cell have these on them, so what do they mean?

Answer 1

In Covert Ops, no symbol has any meaning. ALL identifying marks are removed when engaged in covert ops. Splinter Cell is a game developed by Tom Clancy. His novels are fairly realistic, but are fiction.

Note Yahoo Answers has a Military category under Politics & Government. They may have a better answer than Personal Finance.

Answer 2

You're probably thinking of private first class.
