Hands down Warrant. Everyone either looks up to you or down on you, and every expects you to have the answer, do better, be the example, be a prick, be their father, eat crap from above, take crap from below.
Any WO that has been a recruit serial WO and taken a phone call from a pissed off parent of a recruit, a crying partner/spouse, dealt with a overly stressed Sgt. or Mcpl, an officer with the social skill set of a cheese plate....
As Warrant, you’re in too far to quit, and too long to stop giving a frig. Lonely, unappreciated folks, every one of them a goddamned rock. Wait.. maybe it’s the best rank.
