'''Warrant officer''' (''abbrev''. '''WO''') is a rank or category of ranks in the armed forces.<ref> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_officer Wikipedia]</ref> | |||
A warrant officer rank is granted to some [[enlisted]] personnel who have served for many years and have achieved a wealth of technical and leadership experience, allowing them to work closely with, and fully understand, the requirements of enlisted technicians in their charge. A warrant officer is referred to by their rank, also by their rate, but by officers is referred to as "[[Mr]]" or "[[Ms]]". So a [[Gravitics Technician]] who earned their crown would be called "Mr," but also "Gravitics Officer." | |||
