The term "Ward Room" is used to refer to the living quarters for commissioned officers because it originated from naval tradition. In the past, officers in the British Royal Navy would gather in the ward room to eat, socialize, and discuss matters related to their duties. Over time, the term has been adopted by other military branches to refer to the designated living space for officers.

Mexican-American War : the Battle of Chapultepec .(Marine Corps tradition maintains that the red stripe worn on the trousers of officers and non-commissioned officers, and commonly known as the blood stripe commemorates the supposedly high number of Marine NCOs and officers killed storming the castle of Chapultepec in 1847.)


Can warrant officers become commissioned?

Technically since 2007 all Warrant Officer's are commissioned. Before that, only CW2's and above were. If you are asking if they can become regular officers, the answer is yes. They just have to meet the same requirements any other person would need to meet. I have known a few Aviation branched Warrant Officers who have gone that route, but I know even more regular Officers who have become Warrant Officers. I am not 100% sure this is true for non-aviation branched Officers, but I would assume it would be.
