I've never understood this in the short time I've been in. Have you ever been at a formation, and all of a sudden, Chief So-and-So disappears from sight? Everyone needs to draw equipment? Chief already has his gear, and he's out the door doing Chief things.
What happens to Warrant Officers? Does going through WOCS give you guys a super power to materialize in another plane of existence unknown to the rest of us?
Hey team,
I'm dying reading some of the comments; some of you are too clever for your own good. The serious responses are great, but also please note that I'm only teasing; I've met and worked with many great warrant officers, and the ones that weren't on that level were getting the mentorship they needed to reach it.

Soldiers sham. They call E-4 rank the Sham Shield. Warrant Officers are the only true Shamaris though!

In the Navy they find a Sonar space occupied by a E3 or below and tell them to leave.

How about the Warrant Officers that won't go away? Even when they are asked why they are still at work? The only time I disappear is when I go on leave. I enjoy staying relevant and stepping outside my "comfort zone".
To answer your question, they probably disappear to solve issues that no one else knows how to solve. It is unfortunate that when Chief disappears it gives a negative perception on the cohort. If your Chief is approachable and you ask with respect then he or she may let you know where they are going.

ha ha ha I remember several times, our 1SG would be yelling at the NCO's for not knowing where the WO was, a few times I was ordered to go find him and bring him back, or nobody was going home until I found him...... ha ha ha. as E-5s we were also told to go find E-8s and drag them to formation as well, what E-5 in his right mind is going to tell an E-8 to go to formation "or else"? lol

yeah - as a young specialist i was told to get the 5 E-7's, and the MSG(P) from the 3 shop and get them in formation - I looked at my 1SG like he had a penis in his forehead, and he realized that , yeah, an E-4 is not gonna survive that encounter.

I'm sure it would have been an even greater task to actually get the Chief to come to formation if he didn't plan to!
