"I'll go all in."
Congrats again Pete! Funny thing is, they keep telling me to expect to pick up while here at the Wounded Warrior West... they must feel bad for us here and give us pitty promos haha... grunts don't pick up.:hehe:
USMC Staff Sergeant selection board let out last week and I got selected. After spending almost 4 years as a Sergeant I couldn't be more happy. Hopefully I will get good news this time next year as well because this will be my first time eligible to submit to become a Warrant Officer.
So when's the wetdown???
Congrates on the promotion and ditto on going Warrant, go for it man.
I made CWO4 last year and couldn't be happier, you guy's, the Marine Corps, I believe can actully go to CWO5 which we don''t have we max out at CWO4
Again congrates and don't sit on the promotion to long, instead keep pushing yourself for the bigger pension

Well I got good news the other day, the USMC Staff Sergeant selection board let out last week and I got selected. This wont be a big deal to some but this is one of the big promotions in the Marine Corps. After spending almost 4 years as a Sergeant I couldn't be more happy. Hopefully I will get good news this time next year as well because this will be my first time eligible to submit to become a Warrant Officer.
I keep hearing they are mostly helicopter pilots.
Thanks man and Congrats on the upcoming commissioning. I wish we did have to take the tests, it would help hold some back that don't deserve it.congrats on the promotion, my buddy just may staff also. at least yall dont have to take stupid tests like we do haha
The pay raise was only actually right under $200 a month but this summer it will be another $200 so that will be nice. For us a WO is considered a subject matter expert. For us you have to have at least 7 years time in service and at least an E5. Usually guys are a little farther along though.Congrats. I got 3 more years before I'm even eligible for E6, probably 5 before I make it lol. Enjoy the nice pay bump
What exactly do WO's do? Those grades have my whole career field mystified. I keep hearing they are mostly helicopter pilots.
Only certain MOS's are feeders for the WO program for us. Usually infantry, maintenance, and technical MOS's, no pilots at all for us though.Just about every MOS has a warrant floating around somewhere. As far as I know, all chopper pilots are warrants.
