In addition to corrections by Limbic~Region, et. al., here are a few more, from the perspective of the US Army:

A W-1 is a 'Warrant Officer 1' -- it is only at the 2-4 levels that he or she becomes a 'Chief Warrant Officer (2|3|4).
An E-1 is generally referred to as a 'Private Recruit' as opposed to an E-2 ('Private').

Personally, I never made it beyond E-5 (Sergeant) but my brother recently pinned on his Colonel (O-6) eagles! A good day for him. :)
