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 FY24
Reserve Staff Non-Commission Officer (SNCO) Selection Board.  This 
MARADMIN identifies newly selected SgtsMaj and 1stSgts approved for 
an initial 36-month tour.  Also identified are the 1stSgts approved 
for a 24-month subsequent tour.  Per references (a), (f), and (g) 
promotion allocations were based on actual and projected Billet 
Identification Code (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 60 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) request in the
Requirements, Transition, and Manpower Management System (RTAMMS)
for RA approval.  This message serves as the authority for transfer
request of the newly selected Marine to the approved Reporting Unit
Code (RUC).  In no case shall commanders recommend the transfer of
any SgtMaj or 1stSgt to any other billet than those listed below
without prior written approval from the Dir, RA.  The IUT request
must be submitted in advance to allow timely processing by RA and
to prevent issues with Inactive Duty Training (IDT) Travel
Reimbursement.
4.  Once the IUT is approved by RA in RTAMMS and upon joining the
gaining command, the assignment of the SgtMaj or 1stSgt BIC will be
administered via the RTAMMS.  Selected Marines must be joined to
their newly directed RUC in order to be placed on the HQMC RA
directed BIC. Only a SgtMaj or 1stSgt may fill a respective 8999
BIC per reference (i).  The outgoing Marine is required to be placed
into EX009 per reference (i).  Both the outgoing and incoming SgtMaj
or 1stSgt will continue to be eligible for IDT Travel Reimbursement,
if otherwise eligible, not to exceed a turnover period of 90 days.
The unit will contact Marine Forces Reserve G-1 Manpower at
SMB_IDT_TRAVEL@USMC.MIL to obtain an IDT Travel Reimbursement Waiver
for the Marine in excess not to exceed that 90 day period.  If the
outgoing SgtMaj or 1stSgt is pending retirement, this Marine will be
reassigned an excess Reserve Billet Identification Code of EX009 
pending release to the Retired Reserve.  No later than 90 days from
the day the incoming SgtMaj or 1stSgt has reported, the outgoing 
SgtMaj or 1stSgt will be administratively transferred to the Retired
Reserve, 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 administrative 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 for required BIC
management actions involving SgtsMaj and 1stSgts.  Include the
incoming Marine's name, BIC, and RUC.
