What's the deal with enlisted Starfleet ranks? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

O'Brien is a "chief," Jonas and Cutler hold the rank of "Crewman," and I think those are the only enlisted personnel who have lines and appear in more than one episode. Starfleet seems ridiculously officer heavy.

Is the enlisted/officer distinction different in Starfleet from traditional armed forces? And where are all the warrant officers?

Yeah, look for the crewmen in man dresses in the early seasons of TNG. Can almost guarantee they are enlisted.
