I’m not from a military family and don’t appreciate the significance of returning as a CWO. Would you splain it in simple terms for us non military folks?

And my congratulations & thanks to the CWO for serving our country for so long and so well!

I’m not a vet but I think it means a Captain is a commissioned officer and a Chief Warrant Officer is not. I think the significance is that he just wanted to get back in the Army, like Patton saying he’d command a company just to get back in the action when he was in the dog house.
