Situation Report
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas — A YouTube video of a U.S. Army warrant officer actually working has gone viral, sources confirmed today.
In the 7-second video, a warrant officer is seen working diligently at a computer, which sits on a desk with a taped-over nameplate on it. The officer then prints what looks like a DA31 document — an Army leave form — and actually picks it up himself before taking it to a door which is labeled “XO.” The officer then opens that door and enters another room before the video ends.
“Working Warrant” has currently been viewed more than 17 million times by roughly seven million people, most of whom were assessed to be incredulous general officers and disbelieving privates first class from the armies of nearly 100 countries, according to experts.
