This explains whats wrong with the professionalism in the Warrant Officer Cohort. If we can all emulate these characteristics as a foundation to build upon, it will fix many of the issues plaguing the Cohort today:

What does it mean to be a Quiet Professional!, By Rob Shaul

I’ve been thinking about this for years, and over that time have written down my thoughts and ideas which I share below. First penned in Oct. 2015, this current version was refined and updated March 2017.

1) Service. Service to your team, your family, your community, your profession. Someone ready to serve. A promise keeper. Reliable. Solid.

2) Mission First. It took me until my 40s (I’m a slow learner…) to realize, “It’s not about me.” I’ve finally matured past the point of chasing individual accolades or accomplishments – and have come to realize these can be as fleeting, and unfulfilling as a shiny new purchase. Turning this corner is incredibly liberating. Ambition, angst, jealousy have faded and with their evaporation has come a growing sense of solace. I’m intense, and have sought this solace, but until my 40’s thought it would come when I’d reached an “acceptable” level of personal accomplishment. Only when I let that go and put the mission, and others, first, have I begun to realize a budding sense of peace.

To be clear. It’s not about you. Accept, understand and embrace this. It’s liberating.

3) Hard Work. Quiet professionals are “grinders.” There’s an understanding that huge leaps forward are few and fleeting, and most advancement is evolutionary. Keep grinding, keep improving, keep learning, have patience, and improvement is steady. Daily small steps forward lead to big gains over time. Stop looking for shortcuts and get to work.

4) Understanding the difference between “Experience” and “Wisdom.” Everyone has experience. Wisdom comes from reflection, admitting and owning mistakes, forgiving yourself, learning and stepping back up to the plate for another swing.

5) Knowing what to do = Easy. Doing it = Hard. Most of life is fairly simple and direct. Ninety-nine percent of the time we know what the “right” thing to do is. Our overthinking minds and selfish selves will try to confuse things with rationalization, but we know deep down what is right. It’s the doing it that is hard.

Quiet professionals push away the rationalization and focus on the hard truths with clear eyes. They identify the right action and do it.

No one is perfect. When they don’t do the right thing, quiet professionals reflect, learn from it, forgive themselves and look forward intent on future improvement.

6) Humility + Humor. The more I learn, the less I am sure of. All my 30’s righteousness has been replaced by “it depends” …. and a good laugh at myself.

7) Continual Professional Learning. Driven not by competitiveness and ambition but by a sincere wish to improve and a strong respect for the profession.

8) Do your Job. Quietly, consistently, professionally, well. Every day.

9) Don’t get too far from your purpose. Vacations are fine. Hobbies are nice. But they aren’t your life’s work. Quiet professionals don’t live for the weekend. They find engagement, fulfillment, and joy in their work and it’s never far from the front of their mind.

Work isn’t a burden – it’s part of who you are – and enriches your life and the lives of the others you serve through it.

10) Embrace the suck. Life is not fair. Everything worth doing is hard. There’s often no light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t whine. Don’t bemoan. Embrace it, smile, and soldier on.

11) Resilience. You’ve got to be able to shake it off and get back in the saddle. This takes grit, but also forgiveness (mostly of yourself), humility, and likely more work on the fundamentals.

12) Living a life of adventure and enthusiasm. You don’t need to climb Everest, ride your motorcycle to Chile, or raft the Yukon for “real” adventure. Strive to find adventure every day – start a business, parent a child, coach a team, change careers, write a book. What makes “adventure” exciting is the uncertainty of the outcome and the richness of the journey along the way. All adventure takes a “jump” into the unknown. Make those jumps, and do so with vigor and enthusiasm. Have some damn spirit! ….. It will keep you young and life exciting.

13) Gratitude. Professional and private. Much easier when you are able to live in the present – and truly appreciate how fortunate you are and how amazing your life is and the people in your life are.

From my foxhole there seems to be resentment between officers, Non-Commissioned, Warrant, and Commissioned. A lack of understanding and or acceptance of each one’s role, and in some cases a hesitance to support one another. Nothing is perfect but doctrine is in black and white. Live the values understand and uphold you oath/creed, and be a servant leader.

Would recommend that technical Warrants go back to using local board for selection

This is really a subjective question. In my professional opinion WO are very professional! No one is perfect and yes WO, Sr. NCOs and Officers have cast a negative light on the Military as a whole with misconduct that is highlighted in the press. We all need to continue to work on our professionalism to make our Army better instead of being decisive and pointing fingers. We are all better than that.

Ensure only the best get into the WO ranks…many CW3’s do a poor job of ensuring the folks they recommend to enter the Corps are of the right caliber.

As a former MSG & CW2 forced to retire in the U.S. Army what does the Army expect? The Army changed the recruiting program and selected Soldiers in the Warrant Officer Corps that have less years in and Soldiers that lack the level of maturity needed to wear the Silver Bar with dots. An EXPERT in our many fields and the Army should’ve meant that they POSSESSED the level of EXPERIENCE needed and that they’ve EXPERIENCED the true culture of the Army way of life. Most of the Army’s Commissioned Officer doesn’t have the necessary level of respect for the WARRANT OFFICER to accept him or her in their own ranks as Commissioned Officers. Yet only accepted when it is CONVIENENT to be a Commissioned Officer for the purpose of duty rosters or duties that a LT, CPT, or MAJ don’t feel like doing themselves.

The Non Commissioned Officer who turns his back on the Warrant Officer because they feel that the Warrant left the ranks of the ENLISTED because he or she was afraid of the challenge or responsibilities of a true NCO. The same NCO who hates to even render a Hand Salute or talk to a Warrant Officer at the position of attention all because they feel the Warrant isn’t worthy…

If the Army expects change and wants true professionalism then the Army should practice what they TEACH and EXPECT. Develop a PROFESSIONAL and valuable training program. Re-evaluate the SELECTION process and PROMOTE based on the Warrant Officers performance, abilities and accomplishments and NOT by the NUMBER OF WARRANTS NEEDED for the next fiscal year.

These comments come from 22 years of experience as an Enlisted Soldier, MOS Instructor / Writer, Drill Sergeant, Senior NCO and Technical Expert with Raters who lacked the ability to write the performance and accomplishments of a Warrant Officer to give him what the Army calls “A Heart Beat”; making him favorable to be promoted to the next higher grade, that of Chief Warrant Officer 3, therefore he was subsequently forced to retire. Army Strong, An NCO at Heart and a PROFESSIONAL Warrant Officer for life!!!

The way I see it, “expert” describes the quality by which we perform our duties as Warrant Officers. “Professionalism” describes the behavior by which we [should] conduct ourselves while executing those duties. We all know the difference between professional and otherwise, and what it looks like when someone acts either way. Is it really true that Warrant Officers in general are falling short on professionalism? Maybe, but I don’t think we’re in any worse shape than Officers or NCOs.
Professionalism, like any other behavior, starts with YOU (and me). Here’s a possible series of steps that may help you get an idea of your personal level of professionalism:
Step 1. Perform a gut check – do I conduct myself in a professional manner more often than not?
Step 2. Ask a Warrant Officer, whom you respect for his/her professionalism, for an honest answer to the same question.
Step 3. Ask a Senior Officer (or Senior NCO) for that same assessment.
If you don’t get a resounding 3/3 for “highly professional”, maybe you need to rethink your own level of professionalism, and start down the road to improvement for yourself, which will benefit the entire Corps.
By the way, great contributions by all. The comments I would like to note are first, the one where National Guard Warrant Officers are described as, "They are a different breed of cat from the active duty counterpart…” I disagree. I work with several Warrant Officers that I would put to the test against their AD counterparts any day of the week in terms of both professionalism and ability. Next, I’d like to ditto Mr. Carpio’s comment; I shudder to think that we’re getting called out as a Corps. I really can’t recall many instances where my fellow Warrants or I have had our professionalism put in check.
There’s only one standard, and it’s up to each of us to hold ourselves and each other accountable to it.

Being a professional or doing the right thing is a mindset. You can’t change a mindset. Everybody in the military are adults and will do what they want to do regardless of what you tell them. For those of us that have character and a strong moral compass we should continue to do the things that have made us successful growing up through the ranks and attempt to mentor those that are swaying to the left. If those individuals are stuck in their own ways then there is not much we can do to change them but in the end you know you tried your hardest to help them. We as leaders have bigger things to worry about then babysitting someone with questionable traits. Yes, we cut out the none sense and “tell it like it is” but the deliverance of the message is what tick other people off. You can’t just go in and be untactfully honest. The best method is to gather facts, regulations, and then professionally deliver your message (deliverance)…..yes it is playing the game but it is ok because we have been playing this game for some time now. Kind of why we are Warrants in the first place. I only been a Warrant for a few years now but in that short amount of time I have developed my own “swaggger” as a Warrant and have been successful in doing so. Learn from past mistakes and mistakes of others and molding myself to become better on a daily basis. A person with the same mindset will do the same.

I totally agree with Mr. Ogletree. Warrant Officers are more prone and less afraid to speak up their minds when nonsense decisions are made; unfortunately many Seniors perceive this as a lack of profesionalism, however, be aware of those that preach profesionalism and integrity with a passion, i have seen lots of them on the news lately. The quite profesionals get the job done without a fuss or the necesity to impress The boss or subordinates.

The G.O.‘s and CSM’s I flew around in Afghanistan in their Jet never question my fellow Warrants or me. I hate that I even had to post this.

I think Mr. Allen put it best. We have to look at who is making these comments. Senior officers and CSMs…I tell you, their idea of professionalism is more than just showing up to PT. Senior officers say that we’re unprofessional because we tell them something that they don’t want to hear, but need to hear. CSMs think that we are unprofessional because we don’t buy into their crazy crap that’s designed to make us “better.” Just because it’s something you did as a private in the 80s don’t mean that it’s effective leadership. I support my command and NCOs fully. However, I don’t do all of the “stay late because I’m having a bad soldier day” stuff. As for officers, I was bred not to be a “yes man” to anyone… Chiefs tell it like it is…with tact, of course….but when we do that, it gets portrayed as if we are being unprofessional… Just my two cents….

Let us not forget the stressors many of these young professionals face. If you have a job that keeps you inside the wire most or all of the time while deployed then think twice before you judge. I have known many young warrants that fly night after night and not easy missions. The adrenaline that builds up after 6-12+ hours of flying needs a release. Once you adapt to that it is not some something you turn off like a light when the deployment is over. There will be issues that the command needs to adders and not just with UCMJ. Not an excuse but fact that warrants consideration.
There are a decades worth of officers that have put PME on the back burner because the command would not give them the time or couldn’t take it because of training demands during short down time. As big as Aviation is, it has been in such demand that home station time remained a year even as many others started to get closer to two. Again not excuses but facts that contribute to how individuals manage stress.
We can’t talk of improving professionalism without acknowledging the contributing factors.

I agree with the question, what has happened to the professionalism in the Warrant Officer Corps. In my opinion, there are very young and immature soldiers becoming warrant officers today, because of the rush to fill vacant slots. I also feel that some of our senior warrants see some of the foolishness and unprofessional behavior exhibited and turn a blind eye.

During times of conflicts, we sometimes become more complacent in the selection of those to become Warrant Office, satisfying the need rather than the standard. When the conflicts run on for years the standard is eroded. Most Warrants have served at least one deployment and some multiple tours and I have found that the protocols that we expect in garrison are relaxed to accommodate the situation. It is also apparent that more and more of our ranks are not career soldiers but individuals looking for training for a civilian job and have little interest in the military way of life. So if by professionalism they mean the way an individual comports themselves in a military correct manner then yes our professionalism is sliding. Now if the complaint is that these Warrants don’t know their job that is another matter. First and foremost has the School standard been dropped to provide warm bodies?
Have the individuals been able to attend the schools required to maintain their skills and improve on them as they gain rank? And last but not least does the individuals superiors demand the professionalism that comes with the title or do they don’t want to make waves by firing someone.
You want a Professional Soldier you demand it. If an individual doesn’t meet the task then relieve him or her. If you want the Technical knowledge of the Warrant then give the time to attend the advanced course they need, and insure that he/she receives the best training available and not the foot stomping type. Last but not least is Train their superiors to know what the Warrant Officer is, what their duties and limitations are and what their career progression requires. There are many who have no idea what we are.
As a post script. For the last ten years the fine professional men and women of the National Guard and Reserve forces have been an intericale part of the battlefield. They have trained together for years; they often have relatives in their units and work together in their civilian careers. They are a different breed of cat from the active duty counterpart, they are more likely to ask questions, drop the sir, and forget to salute, Don’t take that to be a lack of professionalism is its just the way they get the job done. Most of these Warrants do the same thing in their civilian life and have far more experience.

I tend to agree with James comments. Just because someone in the senior officer and NCO ranks makes a comment that warrant officers are unprofessional, doesn’t apply to every warrant officer. Please cite personal examples that you have witnessed. I haven’t seen a warrant officer on the news yet being charged with or relieved for misconduct, but I have several Senior officers and NCOs.

So Senior Officers and NCOs are asking how to make us more professional. I like to think that Warrant Officers cut out all the protocol stuff in order to actually accomplish work. My definition of “professional” is different than a Senior Officer or Senior NCO. I’m an expert in my tightly focused field and my mission WILL be completed. Because I’m not at formations and “bringing my unit to the position of attention” on the parade ground does not mean I’m not professional, in my opinion. As a CID Warrant Officer, the majority of my criminal customers are Enlisted Soldiers and Officers. I don’t ask them to be more professional. I just ask them to stop sexually assaulting each other. If they did I would have more time to dedicate to formations and such instead of working endless hours to pick up the pieces of their “professioalism”.
