U.S. Marines: Chief Warrant Two (USMC CWO-2) [3D] Postcard

Introducing project “Military Insignia 3D”, featuring top quality military heraldry designs. Here you will find customisable apparel, accessories, custom postage and gifts decorated with rank insignia of a U.S. Marine Chief Warrant Officer Two (USMC CWO-2). The duties US Marine warrant officers typically fulfil are those that would normally call for the authority of a commissioned officer. However, they require an additional level of technical proficiency and practical experience that a commissioned officer would not have had the opportunity to achieve. An enlisted marine can apply for the warrant officer program after serving at least eight years of enlisted service, and reaching the grade of sergeant (paygrade E-5) for the administrative warrant officer program or after serving at least sixteen years of enlisted service and reaching the grade of gunnery sergeant (paygrade E-7) for the weapons warrant officer program. If the Marine NCO is selected, he or she is given additional leadership and management training during the Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC), conducted at The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia. CWO-2s become commissioned officers by the President of the United States. They are intermediate-level technical and tactical experts who perform increased duties and responsibilities at the detachment through battalion levels. Those Marines elevated to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 2 are recognised for their proven technical and tactical aptitude. Demonstrating both a strong capacity for hands-on technical task management and leadership potential, these warriors are members of an elite class of Marine Corps specialists. Marines who earn the Chief Warrant 2 designation combine the ability to execute orders decisively and the skill to effectively manage those in their command. These individuals are respected for the technical proficiency they possess and their skill in leveraging this knowledge to always get the job done.
