StarsMarsRadio True, however the Air Force is still, legally, able to appoint them. Just as with the navy and coast guard, who do not appoint certain grades, W-1 for Navy, and both W-1 and CW-5 for Coast guard.
Incorrect, the last Wo/CWO was in 1980 and do not appoint them anymore. Also the US Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Army all have 1-5 ranks. Please don't post if you don't know what you're talking about noob.
I was a US Army Warrant Officer Aviator...Vietnam era until I retired almost 30 years later. The early Warrant Officer Flight Training (WOFT) program was a slightly different track than your standard "walking" WO program. We applied for WOFT during either Basic Training or as prior enlisted. Most of us had no prior enlisted experience which meant many aviation warrants were as young as 19-20 years old. Most walking warrants were in their late 20s/early 30s. I served in many capacities in Army Aviation...pilot in command, contact/instrument flight instructor, Aviation Safety Officer at company/battalion/brigade levels, materiel development liaison fielding new aircraft like the Black Hawk and Apache, Joint Command aviation advisor. Also, I moved around the country and overseas a lot...South Korea, Germany...never in any one place more than 4 years.
@@rjeanette9189 Warrant Officers are the best rank. While Commissioned officers are placed where the military needs you and you don't do your job. And its pure bureaucracy while Warrant Officers focus ONLY on their jobs and only answer to DoD.
The proper form of address for a warrant officer is Mr or Ms. The term chief is like calling a sergeant sarge. Why we warrants persist in being okay being addressed by an enlisted title is beyond me. (Chief Petty Officer in USN and USCG and Chief Master Sergeant in the USAF) It irritated me when I was on active duty and it irritates me as a retiree. It also detracts from USAF and USN/USCG members who claim that title. And no this is not trivial. Rank and forms of address are big deals in the military. Sorry to see an official video continuing this practice.
i'm assuming you are referring to "chief xxx", and you are right, it isn't correct. they should be addressed when referenced in the third person as "Mr xx" or Ms xx". When addressing them in the second person when i was enlisted, I generally used "sir" or "maam" along with saluting them when appropriate.
Why are you showing an air force airmen when talking about cyber security? You do realize that the Air Force stopped appointing warrant officers in 1959. The last active-duty air force chief warrant officer, CWO4 James H. Long, retired in 1980. The last Air Force Reserve chief warrant officer, CWO4 Bob Barrow, retired in 1992. Please show accurate data if you are going to talk about the Warrant Officer rank. From a retired CW4 with 30 years active duty time.
Tommy actually the Air Force stopped Warrant Officers in the 1980's. I know because my father before retiring from the Air Force in 1991 saw the memorandum of Warrant Officers program to be deactivated.
So warrant officers are not subject to up or out? they can stay in place for 15 years building knowledge and experience. What are senior enlisted e-7 to e-9 aren't they experts in their fields? Is the USA the only country that has our type of warrant officers seems expensive and inefficient.
My older brother was a CW-5 with the 5th group, in Fort Campbell. He is retired now, but I remember one of the many things he was grateful for was being able to live in the same house for 20 + years. His children got to grow up with the same kids throughout their young lives.
