GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. A board to select nominees for consideration for assignment as the 20th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps (SMMC) will convene 17 January 2023 for a period of approximately three (3) days.
2.  The process for selecting nominees will occur as follows:
2.a.  Board membership will consist of general officers that have had sergeant major reporting responsibilities as a general officer.
2.b.  The board will select the best and fully qualified sergeants major for consideration by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) to be considered to be the 20th SMMC.
3.  Prerequisites.  To be eligible for consideration to serve as SMMC, the following minimum prerequisites apply:
3.a.  Must have served, and be serving in a general officer slated billet as a senior enlisted advisor for a minimum of 24 months on the reporting day of the announced billet, NLT 30 July 2023.
3.b.  Must be willing to occupy the designated quarters established for the SMMC.
4.  Non-consideration.  All eligible sergeants major who do not desire consideration for selection will inform the president of the board of such in writing using the information contained in paragraphs 6 and 7.  The request does not need to disclose why non-consideration is requested and non-consideration requests will have no impact on future retention slating.  Requests for non-consideration must arrive not later than (NLT) 2359 EST, 6 January 2023.  Once submitted, requests for non-consideration may not be retracted.
4.a.  All eligible sergeants major currently approved to transfer to the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve (FMCR) or retire prior to the convening date of the board may request modification of their effective FMCR or retirement date (not to exceed thirty (30) days beyond the date of board adjournment) if they desire consideration.  Submit such requests to CMC (MMSR-2) via naval message for final approval.
5. Action.
5.a.  Commanding Generals will ensure that every eligible sergeant major is counseled on the contents of this MARADMIN.
5.b.  The first General Officer in the chain of command for each eligible sergeant major will submit a letter of recommendation directly to the board president that specifically describes the Marine's current potential to serve as the next Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps.
5.c.  Commanding Generals must submit correspondence regarding any eligible sergeant major who is the subject of adjudicated disciplinary action (by military or civilian authorities) not previously reported on earlier fitness reports.  Correspondence will be submitted to the CMC (MMPR-2) via standard naval correspondence format providing a full, detailed report of the circumstances involved.  Correspondence must arrive at this headquarters NLT 2359 EST, 6 January 2023.
5.d.  All eligible sergeants major will conduct a records self-audit to ensure their official military personnel file (OMPF), master brief sheet (MBS), Marine Corps total force system (MCTFS) data, and other pertinent records are current and complete.  Marines may perform a self-audit by following instructions on the MMRP home page at www.manpower.usmc.mil.
5.e.  Obtaining and reviewing the OMPF.  The most expeditious means of obtaining and reviewing the OMPF and MBS is through OMPF online via Marine Online (MOL).  The MBS can also be obtained through the MMRP website.  The home screen of the MOL OMPF module states, the documents included there, with the exception of the "Field" tab and the "RS/RO Profile" tab, are the same documents that will be viewed by this selection board.  Eligible sergeants major are responsible for ensuring any documents in their "Field" tab they want the board to view are moved into their "Commendatory/Derogatory" tab.
6.  Communication with the board.  Each eligible sergeant major may communicate with the president of the board.  Such personal communication must be received NLT 2359 EST, 6 January 2023.  See paragraph 7 for physical mailing address, email address, and fax number.
6.a. Update material.  Sergeants major may submit any information or material they deem important for consideration before the board.  Be advised that OMPF material sent directly to the president of the board does not become part of a Marine's OMPF.  Update material is destroyed upon final approval of the board.
6.b.  Update material must be submitted directly from the eligible sergeant major, under a signed cover letter, addressed to President, 20th SgtMaj of the Marine Corps Nomination Selection Board, with the update material as enclosures (a sample cover letter is available at the enlisted promotions home page).
6.c.  Update material receipt verification.  Sergeants major are personally responsible for ensuring CMC (MMPR-2) has physically received update material NLT 2359 EST, 6 January 2023.  Verification can be made by contacting MMPR-2.
