The French Language form is ''Adjutant-maître'' ''(Adjum)''.. INSIGNIA The rank insignia of the MWO is a crown within a wreath of gold laurel, worn on both forearms of the Service Dress tunic; in gold metal and green enamel miniature pins on the collar of the Service Dress shirt and outerwear coats (Army only); on CADPAT slipons worn in the middle of the chest, embroidered in tan (Army) or dark blue (Air Force) thread; and in "old gold" thread on blue slip-ons on both shoulders of other uniforms (Air Force only). FORMS OF ADDRESS MWOs are generally initially addressed as "Master Warrant Officer Bloggins", or "Sergeant-Major Bloggins" (if they hold that appointment), and therafter as "Sir" or "Ma'am". APPOINTMENTS MWOs may hold a number of appointments appointments, including position of Sergeant-Major , or most senior NCM in a Company -sized Army unit or sub-unit. Some of these appointments are listed below:
Due to the unified nature of the CF, it is not unheard-of for Air Force MWOs - especially those of the so-called "purple trades", such as logistics or military police - to find themselves filling the appointment of Squadron or Company Sergeant-Major in what are otherwise considered "hard" army units (such as Service Battalions or Communication Squadrons). One of the senior appointments that a MWO may hold is that of the senior NCM on a CF station, titled Station Master Warrant Officer (SMWO); the insignia is a pair of crossed crsader swords worn below their rank insignia. MESSES AND QUARTERS MWOs generally mess and billet with other Warrant Officer s and with Sergeant s, and their Naval equivalents, Chief Petty Officer s and Petty Officer s. Their mess on military bases or installations are generally named the "Warrant Officers and Sergeants Mess". SEE ALSO |
