<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''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 {{trmn}} 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."<br />

In peacetime, a master sergeant will have served a minimum of 6 years in the service, but there is no [[Time in grade | Time in Grade]] requirement.<ref name="Military.com1">[http://www.military.com/army/enlisted-ranks.html (military.com)]</ref> 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.<ref name="Military.com2">[http://www.military.com/marine-corps/enlisted-ranks.html (military.com)]</ref> <br />

If the soldier has completed their [[Enlisted Academy | Master Sergeant Exam]], with thirteen months [[Time in grade | 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]]).<ref>See [[Admiralty Order 1701-05]] and [[BuPers Directive 2201-01]]</ref> <br />

[[RMMC]] Master Sergeants usually hold the position of [[Gunny]] in a [[MARDET]]. <br />

[[RMA]] Master Sergeants are the top NCO in [[Company]]-sized chapters.<ref>[[Army Directive 2302-02]]</ref><br />
