JOINT TRAINING CENTER, JORDAN -- U.S. Army warrant officers and potential future warrant officers gathered with Chief Warrant Officer 5 Paul Jenschke, the 36th Infantry Division's Command Chief Warrant Officer, for a professional development and information session here, April 21.
Col. Thomas Dennis, the Area Support Group - Jordan Commander, started the event by talking about how special it was to have so many warrant officers in one room.
“I usually incorporate the warrant officers in the officer professional development in our headquarters just because we have so few of them, so it’s a great opportunity to have this many warrant officers in one place,” said Dennis.
He collectively called the group professionals and experts in their fields, and said, "that’s kind of the warrant officer thing.”
Jenschke agreed with Dennis, and credited his own success in achieving chief warrant officer five, the highest rank a chief warrant officer can earn, to truly “knowing his craft.”
“We are the experts--the brokers of truth and correct information,” said Jenschke. “As soon as you give someone incorrect information, you have lost that integrity, that trust. That is why we must know our craft.”
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Roberto Pauleus, the U.S. Embassy Liaison Officer for Area Support Group - Jordan, invited Jenschke to speak to all the warrant officers in Jordan to share his wealth of knowledge.
The idea was for the warrant officers to listen and soak up as much from Jenschke's years of experience as possible in a short amount of time.
Pauleus said, “When I told the other warrants this is what I intend to do they all agreed, and they all showed up.”
“We learned a number of things,” said Pauleus. “One is to know your craft. We keep saying it, and we learned it at school, but when you hear it all the time from senior warrants, it means a lot to you. Other commanders rely on you as a warrant, so your words mean something.”
The second part of the event was directed toward the 22 noncommissioned officers and one specialist who also attended the event to learn more about a potential future transition to warrant officer.
“We are short of warrants. That is why the second part of the event was so important to invite potential warrants,” said Pauleus. He added that all the current warrant officers stayed for the second part to talk to future warrants.
“I talk to a handful of people everyday about becoming a warrant officer and plant that seed because a lot of people don’t even think about it,” said Jenschke.
He said that those daily conversation and opportunities like this professional development gathering are important for current and future warrant officers to continue playing their role in the Army.
