College Degree in 4 weeks

OK, you guys are screwing this all up. Now, let me screw it up even more. The Army has made it a common practice to commission Warrant Officers these days (why? don't ask me). You don't have to have a degree to be a regular Commissioned Officer (ie 2d Lt.) You can go to OCS with as little as 2 years of college (if you're active duty). Warrant Officers are officers, maybe of a different breed, but officers nonetheless. Lots of Warrant Officers do have College degrees. And yes, the Army has turboprops and some jets. Confused yet?
The big difference is that Warrant Officers usually fly for their entire career-not true for the Commissioned (Lt and so on) types.

Discliamer: this was true when I was a CW2.

Question for you on the subordinate, and or superior officer roles in the Army. I know all the reporting relationships on the Commissioned offcer and Enlisted ranks, i.e, 2nd Lt, 1st Lt, Capt. Major, Lt Col, Colonel, Brigadier Gen, Major General, Lt. Gen, etc.

Just curious. I am fairly certain, that a warrant officer of any grade (four levels, right?), can give a direct order to any enlisted person, even a Sergeant Major (although it might not be a 'smart' thing to do) where does the reporting structure of rank in the officer corps change. ie, can a newly minted shave tail Lt., give a legal, direct order to a Chief Warrant Officer? Or are all WO's above in rank to all enlisted, and below in rank to all commissioned officers?

If you drive through the University of Florida campus with your window down, they'll throw a diploma in your car.

Go Dawgs.
