Annual Meeting Focus Group Topics
(recommendations of the focus group and results of the floor votes
will be posted at a later date):
1. Management of
Senior Warrant Officers – CW5 (CW5 Barbara Carpenter, Focus
Group Leader, Group 1): The CW5 rank is capped at 5% of the WO
population. With the new longevity pay tables Soldiers are
encouraged to stay until 40 years of service. The resulting effect
is many CW5s can stay in the service until they are 62 years old.
This will result in not allowing new promotions to CW5 of qualified
and deserving CW4s. The promotion system will become stagnate.
Promotion rates will go down and this back up will also impact
future CW4 and CW3 promotions.
2. Who Speaks for the Warrant Officers in
the Army? (CW5 Candis Martin, Focus Group Leader, Group 2):
Should the Army reform the WO Division? Should the Army appoint a
CCWO of the Army similar to that of the RC and one that will
represent the Corps; as the SMA does? Should a committee be formed
to be the collection group for issues as they relate to the WO
Corps? Like the WOSAC for the ARNG, the Senior War Council for the
USAR and the SWOAC for the TRADOC organizations and proponents.
3. Save Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)
for Junior WO.
(CW4 Nicole Woodyard, Focus Group Leader,
Group 3): A “Save Pay like system must be instituted in BAH to
ensure our young NCOs do not lose money by becoming WO1s.
4. Commander’s Perception of Warrant
Officers. (CW5(R) Vincent Baiocchetti, Focus Group Leader, Group
4): When a commander is requesting an officer to be assigned to his
organization he will usually say “I want a captain that has
completed his Captain’s Career Course (C3).” Or s/he will say s/he
wants a major with ILE (CGSC) completion. But when was the last time
anyone heard of a commander saying I want a Warrant Officer with
his/her advanced course finished or I want a CW3 with the WOSC
completed? They refer to an officer with reference to his education,
but they refer to a WO with reference only to his MOS.
