Insignia of rank is the only logo or patch worn on the Navy Flight Suit that is not attached using hook-and-pile fasteners, commonly referred to by the trade name Velcro. Instead, Officers and Warrant Officers use either insignia sewn directly on the shoulders of the Flight Suit, or insignia embroidered onto a background that is then attached to the shoulders. Flight Suits are authorized for wear only by aircrew members and individuals who will be performing flight or flight-related duties during a given working day. The suits may be worn during commutes and while performing normal tasks at stops associated with commutes (gasoline stations, banks, daycare centers, etc.), but consumption of alcohol while wearing a Flight Suit off base is strictly prohibited.
The Navy discontinued appointments to the rank of Warrant Officer (WO1) and its associated pay grade (W-1) from 1975 until 1990, the year it established the Chief Warrant Officer Specialty of Technical Nurse and revived the WO1 rank and W-01 pay grade for a brief period. By the turn of the millennium, there were no active-duty Sailors serving in the rank.
But a shortage of experts with hands-on Cyber Warfare experience led the Navy to re-establish the rate and rank in 2018 with the creation of Cyber Warrant Officers (WO1) Though briefly open to Sailors in both the Cryptologic Technician Networks (CTN) service rating and Information Systems Technicians who had graduated Naval Postgraduate School's Masters of Applied Cyberspace OPS program, the rank is now accessible only by CTN Sailors in the E-5 pay grade with between six and twelve years time in service who also hold of four NECs (H13A, H14A, H15A, or H16A).
