In accordance with (IAW) the references, this MARADMIN identifies subsequent and initial billet assignments for SMCR First Sergeants (1stSgts) and identifies previously selected 1stSgts for a subsequent 24-month tour and those recently selected on the FY26 approved SMCR and Individual Ready Reserve SNCO selection board for an initial 36-month tour. Per the references, 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 1stSgts and involuntary transfer to the IRR. 2. First Sergeant (1stSgt) selectees will be frocked IAW references (a), (c) and (e). Frocking is deemed in the best interest of the Marine Corps and approved with the understanding that frocked 1stSgts may assume the title and wear the uniform and rank of a 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. Authority to frock enlisted Marines is delegated to the first Marine commanding general in the chain of command. Frocking will occur no earlier than 60 days prior to the report date to the new unit. Units will ensure a copy of this message is placed into the Marines Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) until the actual date of promotion. 3. Assignment to a subsequent tour of a previously selected 1stSgt are for 24 months while a newly selected 1stSgt are for 36 months. However, tours may be adjusted based on the needs of the Marine Corps. Upon receipt of this MARADMIN, 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 Reserve Affairs (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 1stSgt to any other billet than those listed below without prior written approval from the Director, 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 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 1stSgt may fill a respective 8999 BIC per reference (g). The outgoing Marine is required to be placed into EX009 per reference (g). Both the outgoing and incoming 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 [email protected] to obtain an IDT Travel Reimbursement Waiver for the Marine in excess not to exceed that 90-day period. If the outgoing 1stSgt is pending retirement, this Marine will be reassigned as EX009 pending release to the IRR awaiting final retirement. No later than 90 days from the day the 1stSgt has reported, they will be administratively dropped to the IRR, unless prior coordination is made with the RA Sergeant Major (SgtMaj). 5. The report date for all 1stSgts is no earlier than the 1st of the month and no later than the last day of the month as listed below. Adjustments to report dates may be granted with prior coordination with the RA SgtMaj. In all cases, Marines will contact the gaining units 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 Plans (RAP-2) via email and for required BIC management actions involving 1stSgts. Include the incoming Marines name, BIC and Reporting Unit Code. 7. The following 1stSgts are assigned a subsequent 24-month tour at the below listed units.
