Warrant officers of the National Guard shall be appointed by the Governor. The classes of persons from which warrant officers may be appointed shall be the same as are provided in the rules and regulations adopted by the United States for the control, administration and government of the National Guard so far as the same are not inconsistent with this code and from former commissioned or warrant officers of the United States Army, United States Air Force, United States Navy, or any reserve component thereof, who were honorably separated therefrom but are no longer eligible for federal recognition. Warrant officers shall be separated from the service, discharged and dismissed and shall have the same privileges respecting retirement as commissioned officers, and shall have all other powers, privileges and duties authorized by the laws and regulations of the United States and customs of the service.
