English term or phrase: hash marks

Dear all,

What is the right Arabic translation for "hash marks"?

This is the definition I found in Urbam Dictionary:

{Diagonal stripes sewn to the lower part of the sleeve of a Navy enlisted man or woman's uniform. Each stripe represents four years of service.}

So what is that in Arabic?

Thanks a lot.
