You'll find in the Australian army, the WO2's and WO1's are non
commissioned, They get their "Warrant" from the Queen and thats it. To get
to WO1, you have to be a general entry... not an officer.

I speak from the Army side, not the Navy side of things. Army Warrant
Offic
ers ARE NOT Commissioned unless they changed things since I retired.


I know it is a shock, but the Army continued after we retired. Warrant
Officers in grades CW2-CW5 are commissioned officers in the Army.
