释义 |
Canadian Armed Forces{{see also|Canadian Armed Forces ranks and insignia}}Master warrant officer is an Army and Air Force non-commissioned member rank of the Canadian Forces. It is senior to the rank of warrant officer and its equivalents, and junior to chief warrant officer and its equivalents. Its Naval equivalent is chief petty officer 2nd class. The French language form is adjudant-maître. InsigniaThe 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 addressMWOs are generally initially addressed as "Master Warrant Officer", or "Sergeant-Major" (if they hold that appointment), and thereafter as "Sir" or "Ma'am". AppointmentsMWOs may hold a number of appointments, including the position of sergeant-major, the 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). Messes and quartersMWOs generally mess and billet with other warrant officers and with sergeants, and their naval equivalents, chief petty officers and petty officers. Their mess on military bases or installations are generally named the "Warrant Officers and Sergeants Mess".
