Why are the living quarters for commissioned officers known as the Ward Room?
Ntembu
That is in the navy and comes from the days of sail when the officers dining room of Royal Navy ships was cleared to be the 'hospital' in times of battle.

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.

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.
