GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  In accordance with (IAW) the references, this MARADMIN identifies initial billet assignments for Reserve Sergeants Major (SgtsMaj) and First Sergeants (1stSgts) selected on the FY23 Reserve SNCO Selection Board.  This MARADMIN identifies newly selected SgtsMaj and 1stSgts approved for an initial 36-month tour.  Also identified are the SgtsMaj and 1stSgts approved for a 24-month subsequent tour.  Per references (a), (f) and (g) promotion allocations were based on actual and projected Billet Identification Codes (BIC) vacancies.  Therefore, failure to accept assignment to a specified billet will result in revocation of selection to 1stSgt or SgtMaj and involuntary transfer to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR).
2.  SgtMaj and 1stSgt selectees will be frocked IAW references (a), (f) and (g).  Frocking is deemed in the best interest of the Marine Corps and approved with the understanding that frocked SgtsMaj and 1stSgts may assume the title and wear the uniform and rank of a SgtMaj or 1stSgt respectively, in the Marine Corps Reserve, and that no pay, allowances, or entitlements will take effect until the actual date of promotion.  This MARADMIN is the source document in order to frock selectees prior to detachment from their current unit.  Frocking will occur no earlier than 30 days prior to the report date to the new unit (unless otherwise approved by the Director of Reserve Affairs (Dir, RA).  Requests for approval of an adjusted frocking date must be communicated to this office (RA SgtMaj) via the chain of command utilizing a NAVMC 10274 (AA form).  Units will ensure a copy of this message is placed into the Marine’s OMPF until the actual date of promotion.
3.  Assignments of newly selected SgtsMaj and 1stSgts are for 36 months.  However, tours may be adjusted based on the needs of the Marine Corps.  Upon receipt of this MARADMIN, SgtsMaj, 1stSgts, and selected Marines are directed to begin transfer coordination and prepare an inter-unit transfer (IUT).  All unit administration sections will prepare IUT orders simultaneously with gaining unit commanders IAW reference (i).  In no case shall commanders approve the transfer of any SgtMaj or 1stSgt to any other billet than those listed below without prior written approval from the Dir, RA.
4.  Upon joining the gaining command, the assignment of the SgtMaj or 1stSgt will be administered via the Requirements, Transition, and Manpower Management System (RTAMMS).  This message serves as the authority for transfer of the newly selected Marine to the approved Reporting Unit Code (RUC).  Selected Marines must be joined to their newly directed RUC in order to be placed on the HQMC RA directed BIC.  Once joined to the approved RUC, Unit Manpower Managers must contact the RA SgtMaj for placement on the approved BIC.  Only a SgtMaj or 1stSgt may fill a respective 8999 BIC per reference (i).  The outgoing SgtMaj or 1stSgt can remain in the assigned BIC with the newly assigned Marine for a 90-day turnover period IAW reference (i).  After 90-days of duplicate assignment, the outgoing Marine will become a BIC discrepancy and is required to be placed into EX009 per reference (i).  If the outgoing SgtMaj or 1stSgt is pending retirement, this Marine will be reassigned as EX009 pending release to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) awaiting final retirement.  No later than 1 October 2023, they will be administratively dropped to the IRR, unless prior coordination is made with the RA SgtMaj.
5.  The report date for all SgtsMaj and 1stSgts is no earlier than the 1st of the month and no later than the last day of the month as listed below.  Adjustment to report dates may be granted with prior coordination with the RA SgtMaj.  In all cases, Marines will contact the gaining unit’s administration section and leadership in order to schedule an exact report date and ensure proper turnover procedures are completed.
6.  Unit Manpower Managers are directed to contact RA SgtMaj and Reserve Affairs Policy (RAP-2) via email and for required BIC management actions involving SgtsMaj and 1stSgts.  Include the incoming Marines name, BIC and Reporting Unit Code.
