Warrant officer (abbrev. WO) is a rank or category of ranks in the armed forces.[1]

A warrant officer rank is granted to some enlisted personnel who have served for many years and have achieved a wealth of technical and leadership experience, allowing them to work closely with, and fully understand, the requirements of enlisted technicians in their charge. A warrant officer is referred to by their rank, also by their rate, but by officers is referred to as "Mr" or "Ms". So a Gravitics Technician who earned their crown would be called "Mr," but also "Gravitics Officer."
