I met sma daily a little while back. He’s quite a robotic man. Has many coins.
malachilenomade
Hey, as an ex-Pro Shammer, how come I didn't get to sham? I worked harder as an E4 than I did any other time...
YouCheckedTheUsernameHaveACookie
The picture says army. The fucking font says marines
TheonGreyjoysCock
Just seeing these ranks remind me of the game Cannon Fodder. RIP Jools, Jops and Stoo.

What’s a shammer?
MrTrevorBelmont
Someone who slacks off
RonnieKielbasa
I'm a staff sergeant and I dream of retirement.
UglyHorribleGrouchyOldMan
I did 30yrs as a USAF officer, I still dream of retirement.
PoorSucker
As a Finnish Ranger and went to college in MN, I really had respect for sergeant major Franklin, Korea,Vietnam, two purple heart,bronze star
cannonesshannah
If you don't mind my asking, you served in Puolustusvoimat?
PoorSucker
Correct, also known as SA.
cannonesshannah
That's pretty cool. I have a lot of admiration for finns and how much they have been able to accomplish
Thismuchistrue
Now do the Specialist ranks.
xiaosoap
Specialist e-4. E-1 is a fuzzy. E-2 is the first pictured here
TheTravelingAirman
There aren't specialist ranks anymore. Just Specialist E-4.
SennoTheMage8888
Check sick call, Warrant Officers will sometimes spawn there
nolanurse
Roger that.
OneOfTheOnes
Wow, so many ranks. What do they do?!
humptyblargh
Everything that needs doing.
kansas80
Accurate! Most retire as a SSG. Must be a conspiracy, getting close to your 20..... do not promote.
DuckThatBarks
Naw. SSG's are just at that point when you say screw the career.
kansas80
True! Yet there are some who would stay if, the list came out with their name on it. Others say fuck this shit n get out.
LeopardCay
Sir yes sir!
TheRushToNothing
DID YOU JUST “SIR” SANDWICH ME?!
LeopardCay
SIR, YES SIR!
temujin9
COB? I'm not asking for a friend, I'm just dumb, and Google ain't helping.
TyranusTheSaurus
I like how E-1 isn’t on there. He doesn’t count
imnotryan
well... he doesn't... he's not even out of basic training so he's not at the unit so...... who even knows that he exists?
RADICALFREEDOM
I think I actually received an unsolicited permanent profile when I made E5
kruug
Saftey Brief
PlasticFicus
I wonder about that, too.
manthraxx
This makes me think the military is not a very efficient workplace
watchesyouwhileyousleep
You forgot CW's - Hands in pockets...always.
DurteeDaiperz
Not true. One hand in pocket, the other holding their coffee.
JupitersWitch
That last one. So accurate. Our Sergeant Major was this mysterious woman. She had been in for like 30 years.
Bigemedic
I like the SGM caption that says “He hates you. Stay off the grass”.
findyourway14
Perfect
dghammer
Perfect.....24 year’s retired combat....really didn’t have a job at the end.
Rotsteinblock
could I get the actual one please? I'm not aquainted with the american army ranks and their designations
longnNoodleDriver
So basically, military is like tribal rivalty and hate trainwreck?
TairaMai
Toxic units yes, then you get the one commander that makes it fun. And then you get transferred or the CO does.
longnNoodleDriver
I wonder what character make a CO popular and well-respect among troops. Is that rare to find someone like that?
cannonesshannah
It's not that its rare, its that the COs that aren't good make life completely bloody miserable.
TairaMai
Not really, a good CO does CO business and lets NCO's and junior officers do their jobs but knows what's going on.
UglyHorribleGrouchyOldMan
Prolonged duration of peace drives the career advancement of admin weenies. Combatant commanders tend to not like the Mickey Mouse games.
ThailandExpress
dghammer
Excellent....but I wasn’t made at him....24 was long enough.
IKildASmurf
Also very true
trollprozac
What's the ranks called?
SithShodan
Going from top-left to right, they are: Private, Private First Class, Specialist, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Sergeant First Class..
SithShodan
...Master Sergeant, First Sergeant (diamond), Sergeant Major (star), Command Sergeant Major (wings), Sergeant Major of the Army (eagle).

Lost it at "Stay off the grass." Thank you.

TY very much, my dude. Much appreciated.

Confirmed. Accurate.

Missing E-1 who got in trouble.

I was AF, but applies across branches for sure.
Crazytrain77
Has anyone ever seen a Warrant Officer? I've heard they exist.
itekrepairs360
We had a handful at ESC level. 2 cw4 and a cw5 as well. Cw5’s are all hiding in Kuwait
PotooGeatAndWise
.... so many burpies....
353535353535
Saw one at the motorpool once came out of no where and looked at the seatbelts on my truck then vanished that was over a year ago.
Malus333
Worked for 2 while i was in the navy. One in boot camp(nicest woman i have met) and one at my duty station(quitest dude ever)
kilobet12
Never seen an army WO, but I've interacted with a handful of Marine WOs
G0alden3y3
My gf's brother in law is a CWO 4 (?) he's in Ft Leonardwood, MO
Ineedanurl
Good ole fort lost-in-the-woods.
alisa2089
I saw one when hubby and I moved to Germany, or at least I met a wife of one.
galerand
I used to drive for our motor pool officer, who was a CW2 or CW3.
stilloldbull
I saw one once...Physician Assistant at the Naval Hospital.
macmac138489
My friends dad is a warrant officer and he’s elusive in his own home
PageSideHigh
ATC Ft. Rucker ‘02. They’re everywhere.
joesmith369
Mother Rucker don't count ;)
turdferguson74
I retired as a CW3, and I always took my peeps to the SCIF to train. So not only did I disappear, all the SIGINT folk did too
Mando4Ever
There on the other side of the rainbow.
SpecialContainmentProcedures
Helicopterer here. They're around. I've even seen like three of them work. Mostly the IP's though because if they didn't no one would fly.
solosysygy
MTPs as well. Worse, because it's a lot of work to log 0.4 hours for the day.
SpecialContainmentProcedures
Them too, but I swear ours disappeared and no one knew where they went.

RufusTheAardvark
I heard they hide them in helicopters.
SereneMango
Yep. My ex is warrant officer and pilot. Doesn’t do much but runs his mouth and boosts his ego
bamcobra
Could that explain the “ex” thing?
coreyboy87
The guy I trained in the avionics shop when I was in the Navy just made Chief Warrant 2 in the Army and flies Chinook's now. God, I feel old
GreedyJungle
Accurate. My grandpa was a warrant officer. He flew cobra attack helicopters in Vietnam.
tweakbz
My dad is a retired CW5.... he has a single horn to match his status
TheBatmanWhoLaughss
My dad too! I’m replying to everyone to see if they’ve met him.
guythatfixesCTscanners
I spent every day in BOLC (along with the other prior service in my class) thinking that I should have went Warrant instead.
burtstanton
when my unit got back from the catbox, we had one, for some reason. we were a transport co. didnt seem like he had to answer to anybody
ensensu
Do those ones get horns on their foreheads?
BlargKing
I've got a Master Warrant Officer (In the Canadian military) who materializes over my shoulder whenever I'm editing photos. Its fun.
Crimlem
Mine shows up only when the C4 does lol. Pretty chill guy!
BlargKing
Mine just looks at my work, says "are you sure about that?" and then vanishes with a puff of smoke.
drksilenc
I had 4 of them in my unit when i was in i also had a csm.
jabrooks
My dad is a CW4. Haven’t seen him in years. Makes sense
Schlovia
my stepdad is a cw 3 or 4. he rarely talks, so hes kinda invisible
OneOfTheOnes
That's a good thing. If you see the RSM, you're about to be told good job. Or, you're about to die.
MrTrevorBelmont
They usually hang out in the motor pool office, but can confirm that CW4/5s only exist on Wikipedia
MornieAlantie
Watched two try to put together an M240B. They kept trying to put the bolt assembly in backward.
onepicadayuntilIgorgetsadopted
My dad is a retired CW5. Flew Apaches, chinooks, and all that jazz. Now he does contract work in Asscrackistan. BAMF.
cp2kyo
We had one in the Marine air wing. Old and fat. Drank coffee all day and whiskey all night.
IrateBartender
I had a Warrant Officer chew me out because I didn't hold the door open for him.
PriestofThor
They hide at Brigade and higher
markiel
Yes, on quite a few occasions. I've even spotted the rare and elusive CW5.
TheBatmanWhoLaughss
My dad was a CW5. What was the name of the one you met?
markiel
No idea.... what branch?
TheBatmanWhoLaughss
Marines

SavageClay
My BIL is a CW5. Interesting fellow.
WhoYouGonnaCallGhostNappa
I got to speak to one once, seemed like a cool guy, had no idea what he does though, not sure he actually had a job
MichaelCBennett
So... like most non pilot warrent officers
WhoYouGonnaCallGhostNappa
Yup, I think we was supposed to be supervising the civvies that inspected welds on nuke pipes
WhoYouGonnaCallGhostNappa
I am sure that he told the captain and the cmc to fuck off whenever he wanted
MrTrevorBelmont
He supervises the CW4s on post...both of them
TheBatmanWhoLaughss
Do you remember his name? Might have been my dad. He told me the rank was rare when he was promoted to it. Wanna see how small the world is.
MichaelCBennett
I was confused the first time I spotted one, thought something was wrong with the LTs rank.
TheBatmanWhoLaughss
Do you remember their name? My dad was one. Wanna know if it was him / see how many of y’all have met my dad.
MichaelCBennett
I don't, but it wasn't your dad. All I can tell you that the CWO5 I saw was at Camp Stanley in South Korea in 04/05
MichaelCBennett
And by it wasn't you dad, I should have said "She wasn't your dad"
lilaprilshowers
I actually work across the street from one. Every time I see him my jaw still drops in amazement.
OlJonBoy
I’ve met one CW5 my 6 years in the marine corps.
xray8tango
Me too! Exactly one in 6 years. He had an unsat mustache and smoked a pipe.
TheBatmanWhoLaughss
Well this one certainly wasn’t my dad.
MOTHERFUCKING
Got one in my shop actually, almost broke my neck snapping back to see if he was real.
TheBatmanWhoLaughss
Mind if I ask what their name was? My dad was a CW5 and I wanna see how small the world is. Maybe it was him?
MOTHERFUCKING
Can't recall for the life of me, but I'll see tomorrow.
TheBatmanWhoLaughss
My dad was a CW5 in the Marines. What was the name of the one you met?
OlJonBoy
No idea. I was his driver in Agadir, Morocco in 2010. Dude spoke several languages.
TheBatmanWhoLaughss
Ah wasn’t him. Thanks though!
