Nobody really knows what Warrant Officers actually do, I think they are just Staff Sergeants that got tired of acting MOTO. Probably sharper skates than Navy Corpsmen tbqh

I saw a CWO5 once, it was majestic; like a unicorn stabbing a velociraptor with a kbar. Just a rare sighting

And there in lies the magic of being a Chief. But just try doing something wrong or out of sequence and we would have your lunch..lol Just what is this MOTO SSG's got tired of?

Cpl John Barker,
Have you ever asked a Warrant Officer or a Chief Warrant Officer what they actually do?
Don’t think for once that Sergeants and Staff Sergeants are the only ones who were Warrant Officers. Certain MOS’s do have promotion to the LDO rank. I was a Gunny with 13 years in the Marine Corps when I was selected to wear the Warrant Officer rank. Yes,
CWO5 is a very unique rank in itself.

You won't think they are rare if you ever visit Ft Rucker!! Dime a dozen here! If Enlisted, might as well walk around with your right hand a present arms the whole way. Better yet, DO NOT WALK, drive, easier on the hands :-)

As an 881A Watercraft Engineering Officer we are all addressed as Chief because we are the chief engineering officer of the vessel. Our counterparts the 880A Deck Warrants are addressed as Skip or the Vessel Commander.

Dude, I have never actually interacted with the 88 Series warrants on boats. So there is an engineering officer and a vessel commander? How big is your cohort? As a 131A we are not exactly rare, but there are not a bunch of us. I imagine you guys are even smaller.

Is there ever a case where the Vessel Commander is a lower rank than the Engineering Officer? That is not uncommon in aviation where the Pilot-in-Command (Aircraft Commander) is not necessarily the most senior pilot, but is still in charge of the aircraft and crew.

WO1, sir, but for a CW2-CW5 it has always been chief. I am a a retired MI soldier and we had a lot of WO in our career field.

How do you address female warrant officers? | RallyPoint
You call NCOs by their rank (Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, et cetera); You call Officers sir or ma'am; and male warrant officers can be called sir or chief... But what about FEMALE warrant officers? Are they addressed as 'Chief' or what? Titles for women differ, Miss, Ms, or Mrs. How do you know if she is married, and how do you know which one to address her as (especially if writing a letter)?

As a CW2 I am very proud when I called Mr. Munoz. The Sir was fine and it came with respect that the rank called for but Mr. resonated more with me because that came with technical expertise that I brought to the table and it was tradition.
