So I became a Warrant Officer
 

For the non-military types - the rank is in between enlisted and officers as far as who outranks who. They are the specialized in a specific field and are suppose to be subject matter experts. Pending my tech school, but my area is human resources (420A for military types). Sort of going back to a bit different basic training after being in for 16 years wasn't fun. Currently sitting with an aching back. I held the enlisted rank of SFC/E7 for more than two years so I get my next promotion as soon as I finish my tech school. So that is nice.

Congrats! Does this open more doors for you?

Congratulations and try to keep your new status from going to your head.

Really wish they brought WOs back to the AF.

On the open doors - yep. It's really hard to promote past where I am in the field I am as enlisted.



On the going to head - hoping that won't happen. I will walk on the grass now.. but other than that - not much changing



I heard they might for drone pilots? WO in the AF, but that is rumor mill stuff.
