- Warrant Officers are a specific set of soldiers who have a set of skills that the Army needs. They are few and far between and have quite a different experience in the military than any other job/rank in the Army.

When I went down to the national guard from the active Army I had a warrant officer in my signal unit. I was a 31 Mike at the time and then translated it over to a 31 Fox when I got into the national guard. This was back in the early 90s. We had a warrant officer named Leslie Hightower that had been in the Army for probably ever. And one day in formation it started raining. Now as we all know it doesn't rain in the Army, it rains on the Army. However he looked up into the sky and said "you better cut that out." And it stopped raining. That's how powerful some warrent officers can be. They can give orders to those higher than the President. LOL
Edward deGruy you just reminded me of Police SGT Cosgrove from Freakazoid! 🤣
Lol

I was an infantry rifle man so I deployed at Afghanistan and then I transferred to fort benning for defense as a officer

Is it really that bad??
I always find you on these random videos
@@bryansmith7238 no it’s an awesome time if you join out of really wanting to do it. Don’t join to get out of a bad situation at home that’s where mf’ers screw themselves. They use the military as an escape

As a retired CW5, I want to thank you for making this video. Warrant Officers are highly specialized and improve the Army by that specialization. They are not loners because they, like everyone else, depends on team work. Again, thank you for producing this video.
I have a friend who's a CW3. He assures me CW5s don't actually exist - all you ever notice is rumors one had been summoned, an inexplicably solved problem, and the subtle scent of coffee. Thank you for your service, sir!
What is a CW5? What did you do as one?
@@KeggleStomp_Pogrompa A CW5 is Chief Warrant Officer 5, or the highest rank a Warrant Officer can be
You totally left out the street to seat program where you can enlist and after bct go straight to wocs then flight school. Helicopter pilot is the only way to go straight to warrant officer though.
I started my woft application process about a month ago for the street to seat program. Taking my sift may 10th!
When Matt said you can't go directly to Warrant Officer School, I believe he was implying that you could not just go directly into it. You still have to PASS BCT first and become a Soldier. If you d not pass WOCS, then you are "Needs Of The Army" which means if they are short on. Motor Transport Operators (which they are always short of), you will be on your way to either Fort Jackson or Fort Leonard Wood as soon as they can get a seat for you. Quite a few people fail WOCS before they ever step foot on the Tarmac of Ft Rucker, AL. All the guys I know (2) who were Helicopter Pilots, were MPs and did at least the Minimum for MP (5 Years) before putting in a packet. One did Eight years as an MP (he did two years as a K-9 handler, and one did 12 years as a line MP, and MPI. The first was a Blackhawk Pilot and the Second flew Apaches (and just retired). The point I am trying to make is that they had something to fall back on if they didn't make it through the WOCS and Flight Training. It would be the same for a young "Butter Bar" straight from a service academy or ROTC: if you fail, your odds of becoming a Ground Pounder are very good.
Any advice for someone that wants to take the soft but know nothing about helicopters?
Study your math if you aren't strong in math. Study the FAA helicopter handbook. I'm an engineer, so math was pretty simple for me, but I struggled on the hidden figures for the SIFT. Scored a 68. Leaving in August to start basic and WOCS in October. Good luck everyone. It took me 2.5 years from walking into a recruiting office until selection. Keep at it, and find a new recruiter if your recruiter sucks.
josiah arriaga start studying because you can only take it once if you pass, and if you fail you have to wait 6 months to take it again, and can’t try again. Read the Faa helicopter handbook, its a free pdf online, and get some study guides with practice tests inside. Take your time studying and don’t take it until you feel ready.
Luke V Good luck on your SIFT!
I passed the SIFT and my flight physical. Now I’m just waiting the 6 months after my corrective eye surgery to go to the board!
Make sure you study! The SIFT is not too hard, I passed as a civilian. 🤙🏻
The age limit of 33 is only for aviators. For other specialties the limit is 46.
I always joked that the Warrant Officer was the best rank to be in the military, because no one was sure what you were supposed do. That said, all the Warrant Officers I knew in the Army were always technically and tactfully proficient in their jobs. They had supervisory responsibility and were also able to do the hands on work.
The executive officer of most SF platoons is a warrant officer.
Unrelated topic: I like how Officers fresh out of the academy scold you for not saluting them
when they are like 35-40 ft away...
You say "Yes Sir" or "Yes Ma'am". The best way to stop that is get a bunch of the E4 Mafia together. Get them to form a line with enough space that they have to hold their Salute for two or three minutes as you walk past. They will get tired of that after the third or fourth time it happens usually. Then, they will do everything in their power to walk away.
Had a Cadet that me and couple of other E4's Salute and say "Ma'am? Ma'am? Ma'am?" Like the seagulls from Finding Nemo.
She now gets mad when we salute 😆 lol
@@tjmario64 Probably because you don't salute cadets until they're commissioned.
@@toxicity4818 She was commissioned from ROTC. Was a part of our unit before transferring.
@@toxicity4818 Unless you mean once becoming 2LT.
It sounds like if you're more of a loner, warrant officer is for you.
Facts. Trying to get out of my current MOS (92Y and yes I know they can become WOs) into Intel...
Were do they eat.
@@yannick245 alone in their office
Not if you're in CID you aren't. Command is lonely, but being a case agent isn't, because you're a team chief in charge of enlisted agents.
Tryna go from Infantry to Warrant Officer Rotary Aviator (chopper pilot). We’ll see if it goes well.
Special Forces Warrant Officers advise commanders on all aspects of special operations and are responsible for the integration of emerging technologies. Warrant officers in the rank of WO1, CW2 and select CW3s serve on a Special Forces Operational Detachment-Alpha (SFOD-A) primarily as the assistant detachment commander and can also serve as the detachment commander (in the absence of a commander) or commander of specialized teams. CW3 through CW5 SF Warrant Officers serve as staff operations warrant officers within the SF group and at higher commands within SF, Army SOF and joint SOF staffs.
Your videos are FREAKING GREAT AND HELPFUL. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BUDDY
Warrant officers are technical experts and the adviser to the commander (0-3 and above). They are a higher rank than the highest enlisted (E-9) . There is very little difference in pay between the commissioned versus warrant officer up to the grade of 0-6. The rank of CW2 is considered an actual commissioned officer and they range in their duties. CW2 is equivalent to CPT (O-3), CW3 is equivalent to Maj (O-4), CW4 is equivalent to Ltc (O-5) and the highest ranking Warrant of CW5 is equivalent to Col (O-6). The highest ranking commissioned officer rank is O-10. They are the gap between the enlisted and commissioned officer. This means the Warrant Officer has both the educational background, and the field experience to proficiently advise the commissioned officer of actual capabilities of a specific task. When you want to get a 'Direct' answer, you ask the Warrant officer. It is our job to provide the most accurate answer to both the enlisted and any commissioned officer....Hooah!
Thank you, this was really informative.
Great video! Very informative. If your joining just to be a warrant officer, strongly consider that you may join, and actually hate your MOS. Just something to think about, choose your MOS wisely!!!
As someone who's been a Warrant Officer for almost a month, I love it already.
Is mandatory PT a thing?
@@chockdonkey69 Depends on your commander. My current commander is chill. I only have to show up to morning pt the first day of the week. Free every morning after.
Find a mentor. It's going to suck if you don't. I retired in2015.
Awesome. I am a retired MP NCO. I liked being a squad leader, and loved being a PSG. I had no interest in being a Warrant Officer in my career field, since they are all CID Special Agents. Enjoy your career.
@@Karoke77 well now they're getting rid of CID pretty much. Except for the warrants.
Another way to become a Warrant Officer is to be commissioned first as well. I've heard of a bunch of officers going warrant because they didn't like the staff officer side of things.
What about high school to flight school
Hi, Matt.
I’m prior enlisted Navy, four years (2007-2011) as an Aviation Electrician Airman (E-3). Did two deployments aboard an aircraft carrier out of Japan as an F/A-18 Hornet jet electrical systems technician. Got a bump to Petty Officer 2nd Class (E-5) after attempting Navy OCS. Back to Civvie Street now after failing the course early this year.
Now, I’m looking into putting in my packet for the Army’s WOFT program.
This is quite enlightening. Cheers!
Thanks for the video. My cousin is a CW5 in the Marines for NCBR stationed at Ft. Leonard Wood.
Thank you so much for explaining this for us Matt. I understand a lot better now. Thank God, and blesss you...
I’ve been watching you since my girlfriend left last week for BCT in Fort Leonardwood and i wanna say thank you. Watching you has made me more comfortable with her leaving. It was hard the first couple days not being able to hear her voice and not see her but you helped me
Hi Matt! Thank you for your videos…they have been invaluable to me!
I was wondering if you could do a video on food during Basic/OCS and if you had any advice to offer in that regard. I know it sounds dumb, but I think it could be helpful. Thank you.
You can become a 153A warrant ( rotory wing pilot) As early as PVT once you pass all the prerequisites like the SIFT test and medical. ONLY WARRANT TO BE ABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE YOU GO TO SCHOOL FOR about 18 months
You can go street to seat and become a warrant from civilian by becoming a pilot if you qualify. You can also become a warrant at anytime during enlisted career no matter the rank if you drop a flight packet and meet those qualifications.
Something to keep in mind as well when choosing something like CID coming from MPs is that an mos like that will require you to have a degree cid will require you to have a bachelors in criminal justice
Nice video and thanks for the info
Thank you for making a video about warrant officers
In the Navy being a Chief Warren Officer is like having your own command. The division officer were ceremonious/ personnel type of stuff while the CWO's or LDO's actually ran the divisions and were in charge of the actual mission. I was always cool with my CWO and got qualifications and no matter how much trouble I caused always got away with being UA no NJP nothing.
SF does have Warrant Officers! Their MOS is 180A and are technically the 2nd in command of the ODA
Michael Shannon whose character was a Chief Warrant Officer 5 (CW5) in 12 Strong. The real guy he portrayed, Bob Pennington, actually retired as a 4
Ask an SF dude, but it seems like enlisted 18 whatever -> 180A seemed like the best way to maximize team time and ensure leadership continuity.
What all must understand is becoming a "Warrant Officer" in the United States Army is controlled by the proponent or branch in which you seek to belong. For example should you seek to become a 311A (CID Warrant Officer) the proponent (CID Command) establishes the criteria for selection.
Additionally, there are 4 types of commissioned officers. Flag, Field Grade, Company Grade & Warrant. Army personnel in grades W-1 and W-2 are provided the same protocols as Company Grades (01-O3) and W-3 to W-5 are provided with the same protocols as Field Grades (0-4 to O6). Company Grade and Field Grade Officers out rank Warrants but when it comes to issues like housing, quarters, formal seating arrangements such protocols will be followed.
Company Grade and Field Grades may also apply to become warrant officers but they require proponent and Branch Manager Approval. In some instances they may have to perform duties as an SGT or SSG first so they can demonstrate technical expertise. Yes, Field Grades have obtained branch releases, served as SSG's for one year, applied to become Warrants with the WOCS attendance being credited, attended specific branch WOBC and then pinned WO1 or CW2.
Warrant Officers can serve to age 60 regardless of rank, Field Grade Officers may have no more than 30 years of service.
Warrant Officers when serving as Commanders bear the same responsibilities as Company and Field grades.
The key to remember is the Warrant Officer is a technical expert in a particular field. My chief complaint is the Army wants more E5 and E6 applicants. In the "old days" senior Staff Sergeants to young Master Sergeants were considered, thus the question about experience and technical expertise is sometime called into question with W-1 and young W-2 personnel. Regardless as Warrant Officer you are the Commander's On Hand Consultant and serve as an example to all Soldiers E-1 to O-8.
Best Wishes and success to all.
Love your videos, however there is one way I know of that allows you to become a warrant officer straight out of basic. The Army WOFT (warrant officer flight training) program allows you to continue from basic to WOCS, and then to army flight training provided that you pass all the requirements.
Only one Warrant Officer that has a program that allows a civilian to become a Warrant Officer without being enlisted. Its called Street to Seat program and this is only for pilots.
Actually, it’s possible with Signal, Cyber, and Marine Deck fields too. BUT, you must already have had significant experience and certifications in those fields as a civilian before application. Pilot MOS doesn’t require any prior experience before applying.
I mean if you really want to get technical you’re enlisted until you complete WOBC.
Not So Famous Productions WOCS not WOBC
Not So Famous Productions you are not commissioned until CW2
Thank you your right my ex girl friend did this.
Thanks, my Dad was WO2 in the 1960's and I didn't know what that was about. He installed microwave relay stations or something.
Microwave was the Wave of the future back then, no pun intended. It was developed as a weapon to fight against Missiles during the Cold War. So, your dad played an integral part in American Military History.
Wow I was way off, just spoke to pop and he was a green to gold in Norad Command and retired in Intel,oops.
But there is nothing wrong with my memory
WO's are also unit commanders as in the case of most Army Bands. Being a musician is not taught from the ground up in the military therefore it is a specialty . WOCS is still required.
You most certainly can enlist into the Army as a Warrant Officer. I'm proof of it. I just got selected this month for the "Street to Seat" program. It is almost exactly the same process as entering the Army for OCS. Instead I go to BCT and then straight to WOCS with an administrative pay-grade of E5 during WOCS.
You can only do that if you are going to be an Aviator (Helicopter Pilot)... Other Jobs require time in service and Experience
BCT AND WOCT??
how has that been for you? Im in the process of starting my packet and want to know what the street to seat life is like
@kamdavis7271 It's a great opportunity for free training and experience, but with the new 10 year ADSO and rank reset, I would not do it again. I have learned that street to seat is also heavily stigmatized, with many people having a bias against us. It leads to contention for sure.
@logan1889 - Thank you for your service! People are ridiculous. They are clearly jealous. Please pay them no attention.
Just met a warrant officer from my MOS on reddit. I was a high performer in signals intel in my day, and would have considered this if I knew it was an option.
There’s a 21 year old pilot in my unit. Came in as a warrant officer. It’s possible just need to find the right recruiter 😂
Only because he was a pilot. If he was any other mos probably wouldnt have happened 😂
The only way to join as a warrant officer is to join as a pilot my big regret in my military career is not joining as a warrant, but on my next contract I’m switching over
Shipping off to Ft. Jackson today, thanks for the videos Matt, they were super helpful!
Tell me how it went when you can see this. I ship out for Jackson in august
The SF is unique in that they have their warrant officer school right at the sf school. Most of the SF WO are CW2 or CW3 that is the assistant commander of the sf platoon or take charge of the platoon in absence of the captain that is platoon commander.
I just graduated WOCS three weeks ago at Fort Rucker. I'm scheduled to attend WOBC on January 5th for the 420A career field. As far as age requirements, the limit for technical warrants is 46 years old, but there are waivers around. For aviation, the age limit is 33...
Congrats, Phil! I’m looking forward to putting in my packet asap so I can ship to Basic and WOCS, hopefully, on the 2nd half of next year.
I’m prior service in Naval Aviation btw. So, go figure which military body I wanna stay in.
As a CW2 assigned to a Maintenance Company I had an Armament Section that I was responsible for. I had about 15 soldiers that I led and trained so we could perform our duties making our customers Mission ready both before they went to the major training sites as well as after they returned from those training sites. If the Warrant Officer is doing his job, he keeps his section on their toes every day.
Are you a 913a?
Actually you can join straight in as a warrant officer. You can choose the street to seat option to fly. I’m currently in the process now
update us bro
What’s the age limit ..?
carl10_ 392 depends on job u pick usually around early 30’s
Hidden Pumpum Village I’m 33 how can I get an age waiver ..?..
Hidden Pumpum Village any hope? Recruiter said I can get an e4 since I have a bachelors degree
Before 1983 one could apply for Warrant Officer and go before a board to determine if you have what it takes Technically as well as tactically. After 1983 all candidates had to go through Warrant Officer Certification Course. In my case I went through a six month course at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD that challenged us mentally as well as physically. Then we were given our MOS and bars and sent out to be the Technicians we trained for. Ordnance MOS 913A, Armament Repair Technician.
I am wanting to enlist as a 153A (Rotary Wing Aviator).
-
Correct me if I am wrong but you can enlist as a 153A without prior military service and as a Warrent officer going through the WOFT.
Could you become a warrant by the end of a 6 year contract, get out, do ROTC and commission?
3:00 correction, I know you don't know much about this, but if you wanted to go into the aviation field as a warrent officer, you can do it right out of high school, if you get a general score of I think 110 or higher, it may be 120, on your asvab general section.
Didnt even know what a warrant officer was, but always learning something new from this channel
I’m attending a WOCS graduation next week for the first time, excited to see the unicorns.
CW2 is a commissioned officer the same as lieutenants. Recommendations are more valuable if its from a technical expert versus Company Commander or First Sergeant.
Hey matt I enjoy your videos I am planning on enlisting I'm working with an recruiter and I wanted to know if you can make an vid of the fast class and how it works in the military
they are called NCOER's!!!!! damn! This video is not detailed enough. Also...Warrant Officers ARE COMMISSIONED OFFICERS when they become CW2's!!!!....
You are very nice
Thank you for telling us about it
Because I am lost in translation and my fiancé is in the army
I need to learn about it!
You actually can become a warrant officer without being enlisted first. In the flight program for warrant officers you can go from a civilian go through BCT straight to WOCS to flying helicopters
Awesome videos
Just as a heads up, every ODA has a WO.
You can go Warrant Officer Flight Option without having served as an enlisted. However I believe you have to enlist in order to go to Warrant Officer Candidate School... If you don't make it I am NOT sure if you get kicked back into the normal enlisted pipeline or can get out of the Army.
My Dad was a Warrant. After enlisting, he kept urging me to get a bar. After the fun and excitement of being a 11B3V for 7 years, I applied for Flight School graduating in 80. W-1 to CW5. Finished my last 7 flying Fixed Wing. What a blessing, what trip!
Hell yea!
You forgot to mention that all CWO's are fully commisioned officers by the President and have all the same privledges and rights as regular commisioned officer. A WO is a specialist officer as compaired to a regular officer that are generalist.
Only when yo achieve cw2 you become commission ed.
I went to basic with 2 people who were going flight warrant, so you can come is as a warrant, rare but it happens.
At 3:00....you say you can't go join as a warrant officer. True in a sense. You can join with the "street to seat" program. Yes you enlist, but directly after BCT you go to WOCS and then on to flight school. To become an aviation Warrant you can do my this. Street to seat is not for any other branch though.
A little off topic, but are recruits issued shaded safety glasses at basic?
I have a question what if you are a commissioned officer can you switch to be a warrant officer?
If you start as a commissioned officer with one branch can you change military branches as a conditional release or wait until your contract ends to switch ???
The Golden Knights have Warrant Officers and I served with some of the Best in Signal Corps.....
Does the infantry have WO's? I couldn't find anything on it online so I hope it can be answered here.
If you want actual facts of what it takes to become a warrant officer then reach out to an actual warrant officer. They will also be able to get an idea of whether you would make a good candidate for becoming a WO. There are a lot of great information out there on becoming a warrant and they are always on the look for good prospects.
Unless you go street to seat and get warrant officer candidate school/WOFT in your contract. You need no enlistment time and go straight to WOCS from boot camp
Can you be a warrant officer and decide to become a commissioned officer later on let’s say 2 years afterwards?
Funny....I got selected for WOCS and a kid that I put in street to seat when I was a recruiter was one WOCS class behind me lol
What about dropping a WOFT packet as an enlisted aviator in another branch? Any tips?
What if I enlisted as a 15Tango Blackhawk repair (National Gaurd) and eventually become 153d Blackhawk pilot? Is it possible to switch? And by "possible" I don't mean the recruiter's definition of possible ;)
You can go from High School to Flight School, just wanted everyone to know you don't have to be in the Army or sister service to become an Aviation Warrant. Also your a W01 until you make Chief Warrant Officer 2. At WO1, they are addressed as sir or ma'am, or Mr. Or Mrs. I was an inter-service tranfer enlisted in the Navy as a Frocked E-6, Petty Officer 1st class.

18 Series (SF) do have Warrant Officers. 11B is one category that does not! Although I've heard they do have WO's that can be attached but have a different MOS.
Interesting note to add: once promoted to CW2 your actually commissioned now aswell and get some more of those benefits
Infantry generally is transitioned into flight warrant if they choose warrant officer
A 180A MOS Special Forces Were A t officer serve as Assistant Team Leaders on a Alpha Team. W.O. 1,2 and about half of 3 deploy on A Teams a d CIF teams, 4 and 5 serve as staff W.O. most come from the infantry. Interestingly, the 18 Z Special Forces Senior Sergeant is typically team member with the most experience. Pay grade 8 usually.
11C has an Artillery WO feeder.
what if I plan on enlisting right now to become a 31b in the national guard for 6years while I’m in army rotc for the next 3 years? how would I go about that transition from cadet to commissioned officer to warrant officer (I would like to become army CID)
You’re on the same post as me and I’m doing cq with your classmate 2Lt May
Lmao
Hi I have intentions of being a 68w but that MoS can’t become an officer… However I do want to become an officer …. What would I need to do ?
Hey do you know anything about Assessment of Recruit Motivation and Strength test. Someone was telling my buddy that it used as a waiver for the not pass weight requirement to join I just to verify if these is a thing
You can join with no prior service if you do the Army’s Warrant Officer Flight Training Program (WOFT)
I will be honest. In my short time in uniform, I saw every rank below brigadier general except warrant officer. I was surprised because Fort Sill is a BIG POSTING and I saw personnel from all five branches.
A Warrant knows how to be invisible.
Hey Matt I just want to clear something up. I am currently in process of my packet for warrant. I have been in the Army for some time and have started the process before early in my career. You can actually go warrant much earlier. Yes you have to enlist first but you can go from basic to warrant. one of the easiest ways is to go into flight and have a feeder MOS like 88M. I know this because my primary is 88M. You can also be an E4 promotable to status and apply with waiver. If you look at the fine print the no waiver clause applies to active duty and not gaurd and reserve. I just wanted to put this out there. The warrant process can be a bit of a black hole of info.
Hi, is there anyone go for 88H (cargo specialist )?Or any comments of experience of this mos?
You missed WOFT, you can apply to become an Army Aviator and go from a Civilian to Warrant Officer Flight School
You can join the Army as a PA (Physicians Assistant) Warrant Officer if you have Advanced Medical Training.
Special Forces has Warrant Officers.
A Warrant Officer is an Officer. They wear the same Dress Uniform Commissioned Officers wear. The Cap Device is different. They wear Shoulder Boards like Commissioned Officers Wear.
They go to the Officers Club not the NCO Club.
They make up the bulk of Army Aviation. In Nam they have their own Officers Club where all the Warrants and Commissioned Officers drank when not on a Mission. This happened in the Air Cav.
Enlisted do Salute Warrants. Back in the 50's they were called, Mister and not Sir. That has changed where they are called Sir or Chief
@@SemperVestibulum They were once Wo and not CO so that has changed. All of the PA I saw were all WO.
So i want to be a warrant officer, and I thought you have to have at least a bachelors degree to become one. Is this true??
No you don't need to have a degree. Though it does help for selection because you will be more competitive, especially for the pilot or medical routes.
Matt, I just Graduated bct and still have trouble with my marching. I don’t like being called out for not being in step, and I still don’t understand how to march. Is there anything you would recommend? I’m like the only guy that struggles with this so I stand out.
Get a metronome app and practice marching in tempo.
From an Air Force perspective, an E6 is an Army warrant officer. A seasoned E5 is an Army warrant officer. So, if you're in the Air Force and an E5 or E6, just know you can get paid way more on the Army side by being a Warrant officer. Pretty cool business
That makes no sense. I know you are referring to "Technical Sergeant," and that your NCOs (except Security Forces) in the conventional force don't lead troops into battle, but nobody in the US Army considers your E5 troops to be anything more than a newbie SGT.
At 10:14: there is no CW1 in the U.S. Armed Forces. It’s WO1, CW2, CW3 and so on - all the way up to CW5. Believe me, I’ve researched it.
Can you be a warrant officer in army infantry platoons or 75th ranger regimant?
I was much happier as sfc because my job was not clear to me as a wo. I knew i didn't want to be 1sg.
