The rank insignia of the MWO is a crown within a wreath of gold laurel, worn on both forearms of the service dress tunic; in gold metal and green enamel miniature pins on the collar of the service dress shirt and outerwear coats (army only); on CADPAT slipons worn in the middle of the chest, embroidered in high vis thread (army) or dark blue (air force) thread; and in "pearl grey" thread on blue slip-ons on both shoulders of other uniforms (air force only).
Forms of address
MWOs are generally initially addressed as "Master Warrant Officer", or "Sergeant-Major" (if they hold that appointment), and thereafter as "Sir" or "Ma'am".
Appointments
MWOs may hold a number of appointments, including the position of
- Battery sergeant-major (BSM) — the senior NCM of an artillery battery
- Squadron sergeant-major (SSM) — the senior NCM of a cavalry, armoured, combat engineer, or communications squadron
- Company sergeant-major(CSM) — the senior NCO of any other company-sized unit
- Quartermaster sergeant instructor (QMSI) - the senior MWO in a battalion of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry
- Drill sergeant-major (DSM) - the senior MWO in an infantry battalion other than those of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry
- Regimental quartermaster sergeant (RQMS) - the senior MWO in a battalion sized unit in charge of supply and technical items.
- RCAF the ETSM is usually a CWO.
- RCEMEMWO of a Regiment or Battalion.
Due to the unified nature of the CF, it is not unheard-of for Air Force MWOs — especially those of the so-called "purple trades", such as logistics or military police — to find themselves filling the appointment of squadron or company sergeant-major in what are otherwise considered "hard" army units (such as service battalions or communication squadrons).
Messes and quarters
MWOs generally mess and billet with other warrant officers and with sergeants, and their naval equivalents, chief petty officers and petty officers. Their mess on military bases or installations are generally named the "Warrant Officers and Sergeants Mess".
