1. In accordance with (IAW) the references, this MARADMIN identifies initial billet assignments for SMCR-IRR SgtsMaj and 1stSgts selected on the FY19 Reserve SMCR-IRR SNCO Selection Board. Identified are those SgtsMaj and 1stSgts extended in their current assignments for one (1) year and also SgtsMaj and 1stSgts approved for a two (2) year subsequent tour.<br> 2. SgtMaj and 1stSgt selectees will be frocked in strict compliance and in accordance with the intent of references (c) and (h). This MARADMIN will act as the source document in order to frock selectees prior to detachment from their current unit. In no case will frocking occur earlier than 30 days prior to the report date with the new unit and billet (unless otherwise approved by the Director of Reserve Affairs Reserve Affairs). Requests for approval of an adjusted frocking date must be communicated to this office (Reserve Affairs-SgtMaj) via the chain of command utilizing an Administrative Action (AA) form. This authorization is deemed in the best interest of the Marine Corps and is issued 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 and allowances or entitlements will take effect until actual date of promotion. This MARADMIN stands as the directive for transfer from their current assignment to the new assignment listed below. Units will ensure a copy of this message is placed into the Marine's OMPF until they are actually promoted.<br> 3. The assignments on newly selected 1stSgts and SgtsMaj are for three (3) years as an initial assignment. However, tours may be terminated early based on the needs of the Marine Corps. All extensions as listed below will expire 1 June 2020, or unless otherwise directed. Upon receipt of this MARADMIN, SgtsMaj, SgtMaj (Sel), 1stSgts and 1stSgt (Sel) are directed to prepare the inter-unit transfer per reference (d) and submit a copy to the Reserve Affairs SgtMaj via email. All unit administration sections will prepare inter-unit transfer orders simultaneously with respective 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 Director of Reserve Affairs.<br> 4. Upon joining the gaining command, the assignment of the SgtMaj or 1stSgt is to the Reserve 8999 BIC 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) in this message. Selected Marines must be joined to their newly directed RUC in order to be placed on the HQMC Reserve Affairs directed BIC. Once joined to the approved RUC, Unit Manpower Managers must contact the Reserve Affairs Sergeant Major for placement on the approved BIC. Only a 1stSgt or SgtMaj may fill a respective 8999 BIC per reference (j). The outgoing SgtMaj or 1stSgt can remain in the assigned BIC with the newly assigned Marine for a 90 day turnover period in accordance with reference (j). After 90 days of duplicate assignment, the outgoing Marine will become a BIC discrepancy and is required to be placed into EX009 per reference (j). If the outgoing SgtMaj or 1stSgt is pending retirement, they will be reassigned as EX009 pending release to the IRR waiting final retirement or immediately following a respective retirement ceremony. No later than 1 October 2019, they will be administratively dropped to the IRR, unless prior coordination is made with the Reserve Affairs SgtMaj. In no case will a 1stSgt or SgtMaj remain double billeted under the same BIC beyond a 90 day turnover period.<br> 5. The report date for all SgtsMaj and 1stSgts is no earlier than the 1st of the month listed below and no later than the 31st of the month also listed below. Adjustment to report dates may be granted with prior coordination with the Reserve Affairs SgtMaj. It is recommended that each Marine begin transfer coordination upon receipt of this MARADMIN. In all cases, Marines are to contact their new unit's administration section and leadership as soon as possible in order to schedule an exact report date and ensure proper turnover procedures are completed.<br> 6.
