This MARADMIN announces billet assignments for Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) and Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) Sergeant Majors and First Sergeants selected on the FY21 Reserve SNCO Selection Board. It provides specific unit assignments for initial three-year tours, two-year subsequent tours, and one-year extensions, along with reporting dates and administrative procedures. All newly selected First Sergeants must attend the resident First Sergeants Course from June 20 to July 2, 2021, and all newly selected Sergeants Major must attend the Cornerstone course.

1.  In accordance with (IAW) the references, this MARADMIN identifies initial billet assignments for SMCR-IRR Sergeants Major (SgtsMaj) and First Sergeants (1stSgts) selected on the FY21 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 IAW the intent of references (c) and (h).  This MARADMIN will act as the source document 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 (unless otherwise approved by the Director of Reserve Affairs (Dir RA)).  Requests for an adjusted frocking date must be communicated to this office (Reserve Affairs-SgtMaj) via the chain of command utilizing an Administrative Action (AA) form.  Approved requests are deemed in the best interest of the Marine Corps and are 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.  Units will ensure a copy of this message is placed into the Marine's OMPF until they are actually promoted.<br>
3.  The assignments of newly selected SgtsMaj and 1stSgts are for three (3) years.  However, tours may be terminated early based on the needs of the Marine Corps.  Upon receipt of this MARADMIN, SgtsMaj, SgtMaj (Sel), 1stSgts and 1stSgt (Sel) are directed to 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.<br>
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) in this message.  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 into the approved BIC.  Only a SgtMaj or 1stSgt 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 IAW 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 Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) waiting final retirement or immediately following a respective retirement ceremony.  No later than 1 October 2021, they will be administratively dropped to the IRR, unless prior coordination is made with the RA SgtMaj.<br>
5.  The report date for all SgtsMaj and 1stSgts is no earlier than the 1st day of the month listed below and no later than the last day of the month also listed below.  Adjustment to report dates may be granted with prior coordination with the RA SgtMaj.  It isrecommended 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.  Unit Manpower Managers are directed to contact RA SgtMaj via email for required BIC management actions involving SgtsMaj and 1stSgts.  Include the inbound Marine's name, BIC and RUC.<br>
