Hey Dan,
Where are you coming from anyway? What is your point? You sound like you are on some kinda high horse? Sorry if you don't agree that Chief Warrant Officers should be commissioned and you think it is foolish, but where are you coming from and why? Did a CWO **** in your wheaties long ago? My personal view is that "Mustang" officers, (up through the ranks, pal) overall make the best leaders, with the experience of having been there and done that. And the upward transgression to more responsibilty, authority and accountability (and consequently better pay) is only logical. Your point about commissioning NCO's is silly, we already do commission NCO's in every service, here is what happens.....after they get commissioned, they are no longer NCO's, (NCO stands for NON-commissioned Officer). A top can get a commission, just as a Master Chief in the Navy can, but then they are no longer enlisted, or senior NCO's. I don't get where you were going with this. OBTW, yeah where did you get that "sir" thing for enlisted? I don't know about the other services, but if you call any kind of Chief in the Navy (E7-E9) sir, they will surely let you know the score!

I notice that they're calling him "sir" these days. That used to get you 20 push-ups in the U.S. Army. A commissioned non-commissioned officer! That would be army-think at its finest. But really no more foolish than a commissioned warrant officer--a warrant, after all, being by definition something less than a commission. all the best -- Dan Ford email: see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com |
