Per reference (a), in order to meet Reserve manpower goals, Reserve Gunnery Sergeants (GySgts)/First Sergeants (1stSgts) desiring promotion to 1stSgt/Sergeant Major (SgtMaj) must comply with procedures unique for selection to this grade. a. Eligible GySgts and 1stSgts will submit an Administrative Action (AA) Form (NAVMC 10274) addressed to the Reserve Affairs (RA) SgtMaj indicating their top 5 choices of available SMCR 1stSgt and SgtMaj billets in which they are willing and able to serve. Further guidance on the AA Form is provided on the RA website. All attempts to assign Marines to one of their choices will be made, however, in all cases, assignments will be made based on the needs of the Marine Corps. Billet assignment choices are due to the Reserve Affairs (RA) SgtMaj by 20 March 2020. b. Promotion allocations are made based on current available and potential open billet identification codes (BICs), therefore, failure to accept assignment to a specified billet may result in revocation of selection to 1stSgt or SgtMaj and involuntary transfer to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). If eligible GySgts are not selected to 1stSgt and meet the eligibility criteria for their Primary Military Occupational Specialty (PMOS), they will be considered for selection to MSgt within their PMOS. Additionally, if a GySgt or 1stSgt is selected to the next grade and serving on Active Duty For Operational Support (ADOS) orders, they will be required to request drop from ADOS orders effective 30 days prior to assuming the assigned billet resulting from the SMCR-IRR SNCO promotion board. c. Reference (d) explains the latest IDT travel reimbursement policy and is expected to continue during FY20. Eligible 1stSgts and SgtsMaj should familiarize themselves with the contents of reference (d) for the purposes of selecting potential billet assignments. d. Specific billet assignments for selected 1stSgts and SgtsMaj will be released under a separate MARADMIN after the promotion board results are published. The initial tour length will be 3 years or at the needs of the Marine Corps for new selectees. Each selectee is required to obtain sufficient time with the appropriate Reserve End of Current Contract to cover the initial assignment. 2. 1stSgt billet openings for the FY20 Reserve (SMCR-IRR) SNCO selection board: Unit Location BIC LAR CO C, 4th LAR BN CP WILLIAMS UT M1403400005 RFL CO A, 1/23 ELLINGTON TX M1411600004 WPNS CO (-), 1/23 AUSTIN TX M1413300004 H&S CO, 2/24 CHICAGO IL M1417100085 RFL CO G, 2/24 MADISON WI M1417500004 TOW TRAINING CO, 25th MAR REG BROKEN ARROW OK M1465100003 RFL CO B, 1/24 TERRE HAUTE IN M1416800004 H&S CO, 1/25 FT DEVENS MA M1421100085 RFL CO A, 1/25 BRUNSWICK ME M1421200004 RFL CO C , 1/25 BUFFALO NY M1421400004 RFL CO F, 2/25 PLAINVILLE CT M1422400004 RFL CO G, 2/25 DOVER NJ M1422500004 WPNS CO (-), 2/25 GARDEN CITY NY M1422700004 HQ BTRY (-), 14th MAR REG FORT WORTH TX M1430100252 HQTRS BTRY, 2/14 GRAND PRAIRE TX M1462100196 RCKT BTRY D, 2/14 EL PASO TX M1462200004 RCKT BTRY F, 2/14 OKLAHOMA CITY OK M1462300004 RCKT BTRY K, 2/14 HUNTSVILLE AL M1462400004 HQTRS BTRY, 3/14 BRISTOL PA M1433100217 ARTY BTRY M, 3/14 CHATTANOOGA TN M1434500004 HQTRS BTRY, 5/14 SEAL BEACH CA M1464100217 ARTY BTRY N, 5/14 SEAL BEACH CA M1435200004 ARTY BTRY O, 5/14 SEAL BEACH CA M1464300004 ARTY BTRY P, 5/14 SPOKANE WA M1435400004 H&S CO, 4th CEB BALTIMORE MD M1440100158 ENGR SPT CO, 4th CEB BALTIMORE MD M1440700003 COMBAT ENGR CO D, 4th CEB KNOXVILLE TN M1440600004 COMBAT ENGR CO E, 4th CEB BESSEMER AL M1440200004 RECON CO B (-), 4th RECON BN ATLANTA GA M1470300004 H&S CO, 4th TANK BN SAN DIEGO CA M2144100318 TANK CO F, 4th TKBN CAMP LEJEUNE NC M2140500004 AAV CO D, 4th AAV BN TAMPA FL M2188500005 HQTRS CO ISB MARFORSPTFAC NEW ORLEANS LA M1480000056 CI/ HUMINT CO A ISB SAN DIEGO CA M1480300004 CI/ HUMINT CO B ISB ANACOSTIA DC M1480400004 DS CO ISB BUCKLEY AFB CO M1480600004 OPERATIONS COMPANY ISB BUCKLEY AFB CO M1480200004 SPT CO, 4th LAW ENF BN ST PAUL MN M2171600004 HQTRS CO, 6th COMM BN BROOKLYN NY M2168100097 SVC CO, 6th COMM BN BROOKLYN NY M2168400004 DCO-IDM CO A CONCORD CA M2169100065 DCO-IDM CO B AYER MA M2169200004 MAINT CO, CLB-453 CLR-4 WACO TX M2948000005 SUPPLY CO, CLB-453 CLR-4 SAN JOSE CA M2946300005 H&S CO, CLB-25, CLR-45 RED BANK NJ M2943100208 TRANS SVCS CO, CLB-25, CLR-45 PROVIDENCE RI M2943300123 H&S CO, CLB-451, CLR-45 CHARLOTTE NC M2945100022 SUP CO, CLB-451, CLR-45 RALEIGH NC M2945300005 BRIDGE CO A, 6th ESB BATTLE CREEK MI M2133700005 BULK FUEL CO B (-), 6th ESB WILMINGTON DE M2242800005 ENGR CO C, 6th ESB PEORIA IL M7530100005 SgtMaj billet openings for the FY20 Reserve (SMCR-IRR) SNCO selection board: Unit Location BIC H&S CO, 4th LAR BN CAMP PENDLETON CA M1403100004 H&S CO 1/23 ELLINGTON TX M1411100004 H&S CO, 2/23 PASADENA CA M1412100004 H&S CO 3/23 BRIDGETON MO M1413100004 H&S CO, 2/24, CHICAGO IL M1417100004 H&S CO, 2/25 GARDEN CITY NY M1422100004 4th ANGLICO WEST PALM BEACH FL M2163000004 MWSS-473(-) , MAG-41 MIRAMAR CA M0114900004 VMU-4, MAG-41 CAMP PENDLETON CA M0148500004 HMLA-773, MAG-49 MCGUIRE AFB NJ M0177300004 MALS-49, MAG-49 NEWBURGH NY M0119700004 MWSS-472(-), MAG-49 MCGUIRE AFB NJ M0052400004 VMGR-452, MAG-49 NEWBURGH NY M0123300004 HQTRS MACS-24, MACG-48 OCEANA VA M0130900004 H&S CO, CLB-23, CLR-4 FORT LEWIS WA M2942100124 H&S CO, CLB-453 CLR 4 BUCKLEY AFB CO M2946100017 H&S CO, 6th ESB PORTLAND OR M2232100005 The RA SgtMaj is the authority for placement of all 8999s and will work to solidify assignment to these particular billets as priority fills. 4.
