Christopher Restemayer's answer to What does a warrant officer in the U.S. military do? - Quora

Now...delete this thread. This is getting into some highly classified information that I doubt any of you are cleared to know, unless you’re a Warrant. Don’t speak of this thread. If you see one, look away. It’s not what you think you saw. If you hear rumor of one working, walk away from the conversation. But remember...the Chief is always right. (Wave of my hand)...this is not the Warrant you were looking for.

Former Marine Major Gene Duncan said it like this. He's gone now but his books were a must read for Marines and something almost anyone would enjoy. Considering when he served he may have based it on serving with Marine Gunners within the Infantry, Artillery, AMTRAKs, Tanks or Communications community, which is a different breed than Basic WO/CWO's. His words, not mine. RIP Dunk.

"God made Warrant Officers to give the junior enlisted Marine someone to worship, the senior enlisted Marine someone to envy, the junior officer someone to tolerate, and the senior officer someone to respect."
--Fiction and Fact From Dunk's Almanac

Major Gene Duncan enlisted into the Marine Corps in February 1950 at the age of 18. He served as a section leader for 81mm mortars in 1st Battalion, 5th Marines in Korea. Discharged four years later as a staff sergeant, he enlisted into the Reserve of the Marine Corps and remained active therein until 1961 when he returned to active duty and augmented into the Regular Marine Corps as a second lieutenant.

Major Duncan's enlisted billets included administrative clerk, Russian linguist, and 81mm mortar section leader. His officer assignments were tank officer, communications officer, naval gunfire officer, cryptologic officer and ordnance officer. He held eight command billets for a total command time of over eleven years.

He served two combat tours in the Republic of Vietnam and was twice wounded.
He retired from active service in June 1979.

I thought it was going to be more of a duffel blog post, but it was short sweet and to the point. Still haven't decided if I want to flip to Warrant or see how far I can make it enlisted.
