What do you expect from new Warrant Officers?

You are a specialist in your field, so you will be looked to for answers others can not find. Fix things others have not been able to.
What your not is, a civilian contractor that has ONLY that one specific job.. Because your an expert in your field does relieve you of the mired of tasks your unit will be assigned. So when that TOC tent needs to be put up.... don't sit in the office waiting for the tent to go up, prime power to come on line, ECU running and the enlisted to get the vehicle in place so you can only then come out and start doing your SME duties. Same if your Aviation ... that Helo is not going to push itself out of the C5. And There will be FLIPL duties... LOD, CIVCAS, Court Marshal duties.
What Im asking is, please don't forget your a Soldier first, an SME second.
Thanks Sir, and good luck... your expertise is welcome to any unit.. and every command team.

CW2 (Join to see), great topic question. I'd personally expect a Warrant Officer to be motivated and dedicated to learn from their peers and mentors. I'd want someone always looking to increase their knowledge in his craft. I'd want someone who was receptive and thin skinned, someone who could take constructive criticism and feedback. I'd want a Warrant Officer with the background and skill-set to begin their duty right away. I don't need an expert out of the box, but someone willing to obtain that goal. I'd want a Warrant Officer that works well with others to include NCO's and O-grade Officers. You need a Warrant Officer with and without an ego if you know what I mean, someone that can both be a mentor and a mentee at the same time. I'd want a Warrant Officer that leads by example and puts their team first. I'd want a Warrant Officer who will remain value added and could deliver his SME skills to any mission command situation. A Warrant Officer has to be a SME, trainer of troops, mentor to NCO's and junior Officers, a member of the team, in-shape and on point on all Soldier skills and tasks.

You are expected to be a leader first. Obviously you earned your stripes before you became a Warrant Officer, so you should not forget how it's done (both good and bad). You have joined the Warrant Officer ranks during a great deal of change, and our Cohort is being developed into Leadership, no matter what branch you serve in. As a Warrant Officer, you will be the SME, it is just a given. You will teach and mentor soldiers, peers and leaders alike. You will also be the primary adviser of your field to your Commander. Your expertise and advice will provide your leadership to make sound and educated decisions.
