Master Sergeant

From TRMN
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Master Sergeant (abbrev: MSGT) is an enlisted paygrade within the Royal Manticoran Marine Corps and the Royal Manticoran Army. It holds the equivalent military paygrade of E-7 within The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc. and is often the right hand of the supervising officer. Becoming a senior non-commissioned officer, they are often part of the leadership triad (commanding officer, executive officer, senior NCO). A soldier who has received their first rocker is generally referred to as "Top."


Honorverse

In peacetime, a master sergeant will have served a minimum of 6 years in the service, but there is no Time in Grade requirement.[1] Instead, promotions are handled by an enlisted review board at Admiralty House or Royal Army Headquarters because of the trust and responsibility that are required of the holder of this rank.[2]

The Royal Manticoran Army rank insignia is yellow stripes bordered by blue. The Royal Manticoran Marine Corps is yellow stripes bordered by green.

TRMN

If the soldier has completed their Master Sergeant Exam, with thirteen months Time in Grade, they are appointed to this rank. This is the highest rank a commanding officer can promote someone without board review. However, an E-7 billet must exist for the member to fill, and the promotion to E-7 must be approved by the top NCO of the service branch (Sergeant-Major of the Army or the Sergeant-Major of the Marine Corps).[3]

RMMC Master Sergeants usually hold the position of Gunny in a MARDET.

RMA Master Sergeants are the top NCO in Company-sized chapters.[4]
