What is the difference between an officer and a petty officer?

The difference deals with authority. "Officer" is the common term applied to commissioned officers. Commissioned officers receive a commission from the President of the United States (or their head of state for other nations) and almost always have a college education in the US. This commission gives them the authority to command servicemen and impose punishment if necessary to promote good order and discipline in the ranks. A Non-commissioned officer derives his authority from his commanding officer. NCO's cannot impose punishment, but may recommend it. There is a big salary difference, at least $10,000 per year, but could be much higher.
