Brandon, | |||
Yes, this is confusing. The term “Warrant” is an older naval term which refers to a class of ranks. | |||
This might clear it up: | |||
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_Officer | |||
So Polaski is a Warrant Officer _and_ a Petty Officer Second Class (one term being less specific than the other). | |||
I hope that helps. | |||

I have two questions at the moment.
First, you list Polaski as a "Petty Warrant Officer" on page 49. Did you mean Warrant Officer? Because I know you base your writings upon the American system and Petty Warrant Officer isn't a rank as far as I can recall.
Second, on the same page, you list Haverson as a First Lieutenant, but give him the insignia of a Navy Lieutenant. He is in ONI, which suggests Navy, but he may well be Marine Corps. Thus, I want to clarify if he is Navy or Corps.
Thank you for your time.

Brandon,
I don’t have a copy of the HALO Story Bible anymore so I cannot cross-reference to make sure, but these appear to be errors.
Polaski (to my recollection) should be Petty Officer Second Class.
Haverson is a Navy Lieutenant.
Hope that helps.
All best wishes,
Eric Nylund
