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.

The privilege of rank had its rewards. Rewards that are earned and never given. Speaking from the Navy CWO community, I am sure the good Warrant had his reasons why he took his gear first and then, as you say, disappeared. He should have ensured his troops were taken care of first and foremost. He should have given his team a game plan and back up plan before he decided to take his gear and leave. If you look further into this situation I am sure you will out the reason behind his actions. Good luck and please respond back with the the "other side of the story"

I remember not noticing a warrant officer while I was having a smoke. Worst day of my life...

In 4th year Quantum Mechanics we learned about this phenomenon. Obviously, the WO insignia is more than it appears.
Sorry, Infantry NCOs... I can explain this to you, but I can't understand it for you.

As far as the "WOMAN" I cant find the picture I took of one of our CW4's napping. I mess with our Warrants always asking them if its nap time as soon as I get to work. Their normal answer is they are trying to find a good spot for one.

Wobblies have no problem understanding my point when I tell someone that I am doing my job best when I'm playing Minesweeper -- it means that there's nothing broken or otherwise requiring fixing, so I'm letting the front part of my brain relax with easily interrupted entertainment so that deep analysis of pending problems can go on in the back...

It's okay, I'm still looking for mine. We were getting ready to do an inventory when he left, saying that he had a command briefing to attend.
Well, it's been about six months. That must have been a really long briefing.

May I suggest that a very good and talented warrant would not allow you to wait that long, you may have to venture into the forest to find him, take a warrant with more rank to kick his ass for making you wait so long. My .02

In response to your question, This CWO-2 was removed from his position as an Officer by a Fleet RIF. In my three years as a CWO-2 I had qualified as an Officer of the Deck Underway, and following that, I qualified as a Command Duty Officer for a Submarine tender. I had been a Division Officer for all the Torpedoes carried at that time, MK 14-5, MK 37, Mk 28 and MK 16, as well as the Nuclear Torpedo MK 45. However, I was removed and set back to my Enlisted rank (E-9) [TMCM (SS)]. I was then to be sent back to submarines, to serve with a Commander whom I had removed from the ship when a CDO for his illegal demands. So, I retired, rather than get reduced in grade by a Senior Commander who was looking for revenge! In my case, I was perfectly satisfied to be a Warrant. Both the XO and CO had indicated to me that my service was fine with them, and my evaluations had no blemishes. I felt that the Fleet-Wide RIF was simply a way to get the job done by cutting down the number of warrants without considering those who sought more responsibility and were willing to work for it! So, I left the service, went to college, got my Bachelors' and Masters Degrees, a Certification as a Calif. Public Schools Teacher (K-12), and a Certification for a 'Customized Client-Server.' I completed 20 years at Electric Boat Shipbuilding Company as a Company-NAVSEA Liaison for 'Trident' Submarine Fabrication.
