You ask any SMA, CWO-5,or O-10 and you will get three answers, they all think they are god.
An old saying went, "You can always tell a Warrant. You just can't tell 'em much."
E5 CW2 & 04.
I was always smart enough to treat them like one.
LOL, ya beat me!
LOL!!! The most insufferable ranks to deal with were Warrant Officers. If asked, I'm sure WO's would say commissioned officers.
During my tour in Germany, I took on the role of Property Book Officer, after our CW2 was transferred to Korea, and his replacement was delayed in the states. The complexity of the job, in pre-computer days, was vastly overrated.
After I'd been in the job, I was inspected by Group HQ, at the request of my Battalion Cdr. As my inspectors were CW4s, I figured they'd come after me. They were more than fair, and they told my boss the books were the cleanest they'd ever seen.
From there, I transitioned into the S-4 slot (Battalion Supply Officer). Great job with quite a bit of autonomy, because everyone wanted no part of supply!
