 The Sergeant Major
advises the Commandant of the Marine Corps on matters
pertaining to enlisted Marines and accompanies the
Commandant on all major command visits and other official
trips. The Sergeant Major also serves on the
Enlisted Performance Board, (which considers remedial and
meritorious promotions and substandard performance) and
the Uniform Board. |
| The
Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps is selected by the
Commandant from nominees submitted by a board of Marine
Generals. The duration of his appointment is
determined by the Commandant. |
| Although
all U. S. Military services now have a similar senior
enlisted billet, the Marine Corps was the first service
to adopt it. The Sergeant Major of the Marine
Corps' counterpart in other military services includes
the Sergeant Major of the Army, Master Chief Petty
Officer of the Navy, and Chief Master Sergeant of the Air
Force. |
