Warrent Officer

A creature that has no mother but was created for the sole purpose of keeping non-rates in line and single-handedly winning battles. Can be your mentor, worst nightmare or just some guy messing with your mind...often at the same time. Eats scrap iron and shits bullets, doesn't sleep with one eye open because they don't need to sleep, their best friend is their rifle and their girlfriend is whatever stripper they picked up at the bar last night. Nietzsche said when you stare into the abyss, sometimes it stares back; Nietzsche had obviously had his first encounter with a Army Cadet Warrent Officer.

When you eat dirt for the first time and leave your family to build a shack in the woods
