I read the original thread earlier and had a laff, it just goes to
show how little everyone knows about CWO's and I hope it stays that
way, it's kinda fun!!!

I guess my commissioning decree that I have hanging on my "I love me"
wall from the president of the United States and signed by the SECNAV
is just a mirage, or a fake then? I think you better get your facts
straight, here is some help coming from a (commisioned, there is no
other kind) Chief Warrant Officer in The US Navy...

In the Navy, you have to be at least a Chief (E7 or above) to even
apply. On the very moment you are commisioned (you go straight to
CW02, CWO3 if you are selected as an E9, there are no W.O's or even
W01's in the navy, you are a Chief Warrant Officer from day one ). We
have a permanant commission, not temporary. Most Line and Staff
Officers and LDO's have only a temporary commission, until they are
offered a permanant commission after being a LT for 2 years. So this
is at about the 6 year mark for them, and they are considered USNR
until they accept permanant commission and convert to USN.

One other big difference for us is that our selections and promotions
are only confirmed through the CNO. Other officer ranks are Senate
confirmed. Hope this helps a little to clear up any confusuion.

The "C" in CWO is for "Chief", not "Commissioned".


True. Still, the CWO2 - CWO5 ranks are Commissioned.
