</p>
<p class="pta-link-card-description">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)?</p>

When in doubt, "Sir/Ma'am" works jut fine - even in general in you're unsure of someone's rank. Generally goes over better if you incorrectly address them with a higher-level title than a lower one, and they can inform you from there.Response by SGT Matthew S. made Apr 18 at 2018 9:14 AM2018-04-18T09:14:45-04:002018-04-18T09:14:45-04:00CW3 Stephen Mills3556374<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was called everything from Steve to Chief and never really cared.

"Chief Warrant Officer" is normally only used when reading promotion or award orders.<br />d. "Chief" is an informal form of address best reserved for those warrant officers you work with. The title of Chief is usually understood to be a sign of respect. Both those senior and junior to a warrant officer may call them Chief. <br />Note: You should not address of refer to a Warrant Officer One as Chief as they have not yet achieved that rank. <br /><br />Exceptions to the above:<br />1. Army aviation warrants generally do not like being referred to as Chief. This is due to their working with enlisted aircraft crew chiefs.<br />2. Army boat warrants: There are very few of them but they have their own rules. Find out from someone who works with them what the proper form of address is.<br />3. Navy warrant officers: "Warrant" is the most common term. Most do not like being called chief because that title is routinely used for Chief Petty Officers. Also do not call them Mr or Ms as that title is used for navy lieutenants and ensigns. <br />4. Marine warrant officers: "Gunner" is the most common informal form of address.<br />5. British Army warrant officers: It's been a while but I think they go by "Warrant".<br />6. Air Force warrant officers: Haven't existed for 30+ years. Air Force personnel avoid talking to warrant officers from other services because they have no idea how to address them.<br />7.

The Officers on the boat referred to me as "Warrant." When I was transferred to a Submarine tender and made a Division Officer over 57-8 men, I was always referred to as "Sir" for those first two years. Later when I made CWO-2, I qualified as an Officer of the Deck Underway and stood my own bridge watches. Some months later I was made a Command Duty Officer, and after that, I was always called "Chief " by my seniors, and "Sir" by my Juniors. In that respect, I never had any problems whatsoever. Warrants junior to me I referred to as "Chief" or "Warrant," and Chief Warrant Officers senior to me I was pleased to call the "Chief Warrant Jones" until we got to know each other.

Some have referenced the regulation as it does not say Chief. I have even read where Chief was a insult to the Native American culture. Get over yourself. If you are unsure, ask the individual and they will INFORM you as to the way they would like to be addressed. Usually the ones that do not want the designation are the ones not too long out of WOCS. Goes along with the reference of Top, which probably goes back further than the Calvary days where the First Sergeant was the Top Soldier of the unit. My mother though was so joyful that I was to be addressed as Mister, did not hurt my feelings or change the person or Soldier that I was not to be directly addressed that way. Unit integrity is a big plus and I for one liked and wanted to be Chief, Officers and Enlisted called me that and I answered.

As mentioned above, Army regs specify mister, missus, or miss as appropriate. It is common to hear "Chief" when addressing an Army CWO. Since Chief is specific to the rank of E7 in the Navy, you will not hear any Sailor refer to a warrant officer as Chief. Similarly, it is common to address a naval warrant officer as simply "Warrant" because it is an advanced rank and the term is viewed with respect, however, I've been cautioned that only CW1 are called "Warrant" as a sign of their junior status ( the Navy does not have the rank of CW1 and anyone selected for the warrant program would be a fairly senior enlisted Sailor to even be eligible).Response by CDR Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 27 at 2018 8:58 PM2018-08-27T20:58:35-04:002018-08-27T20:58:35-04:00CW4 Scott Mayer3921331<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Chief, Sir or Mr ... any of the three works for me.Response by CW4 Scott Mayer made Aug 29 at 2018 6:17 PM2018-08-29T18:17:16-04:002018-08-29T18:17:16-04:00Sgt Erich Schwanke3933482<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Unless it has changed, in the Marine Corps it was acceptable to address WO1 and 2 the same as a Navy Ensign, Mister, though many called them "Gunner", which is a whole other division of the WO rankings....Response by Sgt Erich Schwanke made Sep 3 at 2018 10:21 AM2018-09-03T10:21:22-04:002018-09-03T10:21:22-04:00PO2 Kevin Peine3941865<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sir or ma'am.Response by PO2 Kevin Peine made Sep 6 at 2018 1:29 PM2018-09-06T13:29:43-04:002018-09-06T13:29:43-04:00SGT Justin McCurry3943040<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>CW2 and up are Chief.

For instance in the revolutionary war General Cornwallis was also a duke.<br /><br />One could be granted a WARRANT to serve in the Army, but mostly in the Royal Navy for a specific skill, these warrants were usually technical in nature like navigation, finance, or signal. You were not commissioned to lead men in battle as such you can not issue a DIRECT order. Nor were you in the "combat" chain of command.<br /><br />The Non Commissioned officer or petty officer, is an officer without a commission, granted the authority to lead men in battle under the supervision of a commissioned officer, and can issue lawful orders as can a warrant officer. The rank of Sgt was the first rank granted to a "professional" soldier. The rank of corporal was the most junior NCO, and it was their job to enforce discipline (usually lashes), this is where we get the term corporal punishment. The term staff Sgt came from when the units lined up in formation and the staff Sgt would use a staff to set the lines.<br /><br />A private was contracted with the captain as private citizen, to serve a term of service.<br /><br />Prior to WWII their was only the rank of SGT major, that was above the rank of sgt and staff sgt. The First Sgt was a duty position and would be denoted by the traditional lozenge.<br /><br />Generally a warrant officer in an infantry battalion would be called the "master gunner", and this is where we get the rank of Master sergeant, gunnery sergeant, and master gunnery sgt from today. Since it was customary to call a warrant officer chief, that is where the air force and navy ranks of chief petty officer and chief master sergeant come from.<br /><br />When the pay grades of E 7/8/9 were instituted during WWII they were meant to replace warrant officers, but the only branch that followed through was the air force.<br /><br />Sometime in the 1990's chief warrant officers were lateral promoted to commissioned officer, but they receive their commission from the president and not congress. I think is most important in SF and Aviation as pilots are supposed to be commissioned officers, and are in the "combat chain of command", and SF is well SF. Other specialties like admin and finance, i don't think it matters much.Response by SPC Chris Ison made Sep 9 at 2018 1:14 PM2018-09-09T13:14:27-04:002018-09-09T13:14:27-04:00SMSgt Ed W.3949918<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Was taught in basic to address WO as Mr or Mrs?MissResponse by SMSgt Ed W. made Sep 9 at 2018 3:40 PM2018-09-09T15:40:28-04:002018-09-09T15:40:28-04:00PO1 David Jordon3985338<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>the proper term is "MR.

Was much more social/rank conscious than today's military. That's how it appears to me from the back and forths here on Rally Point. So, in my time, I was informed by a officer thus:<br />Warrant officers (all grades) were addressed as: MISTER never SIR! Warrants were not commissioned at that time. Thus they were addressed as mister for Honorific purposes only. Such a form of address was a sign of respect for personal under the rank/status of knighthood but socially equal to a knight (commissioned.)<br /><br />Of course all commissioned officers were always addressed as sir never mister as per the above reported logic or lack thereof. Thus today a Warrant Officer-1 (non-commissioned warrant) would be addressed as mister. Warrant Officer 2-5 as Sir (never mister) per commissioning and knighthood (Bachelor as in Knight Bachelor.) <br />The Air Forces hated enlisted/flight officer (wo) pilots. Thus the Air Force logic or lack thereof for no Warrant Officers in the Air Force to this day.<br />It is all so clear now.Response by SPC Mike Davis made Oct 17 at 2018 4:52 PM2018-10-17T16:52:52-04:002018-10-17T16:52:52-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member4086804<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>For me, its always Chief and/or Sir/Ma'am.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 30 at 2018 2:40 PM2018-10-30T14:40:03-04:002018-10-30T14:40:03-04:00SGT John Podlaski4099684<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The correct answer is mister for a male...don't know about a female.Response by SGT John Podlaski made Nov 4 at 2018 12:37 PM2018-11-04T12:37:35-05:002018-11-04T12:37:35-05:00Capt Al Parker4101125<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It depends on your rank verses theirs.

The CWOs and I shared a professional relationship: they called in their VFR flight plans to me, and I called Tower to ensure their engine starts/taxi requests were expedited as much as our IFR traffic. The last CW3 that I had the pleasure and honor to assist (in 2010), reached out to me for guidance on airport markings; specifically on the airfield and flightline in regards to FAA regulations. I responded with my usual prompt professionalism, and he was another satisfied customer with whom I had established a good rapport, and mutually-respectful professional relationship.
