"Suboficiales" ranks are the most new from soviet-era to nowadays. Vertical bars are now adopted. Los suboficiales son: Suboficial, Suboficial de segunda y Suboficial de primera.

After the the dissolution of the Warsaw-Pact Cuba's FAR ranks returned to the bar system but stars remained for First Officers and superiors. Today the type of grades for the classes are the same as in the 30s and 40s. Nowadays the ranks system is an hybrid of all the time because the bars are adopted again. Designation is similar to the original but incorporates elements of the Soviet era (as the background of the general grades). Here: The Classes are: Cabo, Sargento de Tercera, de Segunda y de Primera

From left to right the ranks are about 1st year of Academy, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th
