Asker: Thank you! It may be only a typo, but the kanji for "jun" is a wrong one in your answer.

Explanation:
Chief warrant officer - 准尉

Below is tha personal opinion:
There may be classification ”准尉” for Chief warrant officer 1 or CW1 and ”上級准尉” for Cief warrant 2 to 5 or CW2 to CW5 because CW1 was not commissioned officer before FY09. However, there may not be no classification of ”准尉” and ”上級准尉” anymore becaued all Chief warrant officers have become commissioned officers after FY09.

Asker: Thank you! I understand your reasoning. Still, I chose to add 上級 to be safe (better to err "up" than "down" in the matter of ranks).
