HYT is established for certain grades that have failed selection twice to the next higher grade and have not reached service limits at their current EAS. Service limits ensure that Marines who have reached a certain year of service in their current grade without being selected for promotion are either separated from the active component at their expiration of active service (EAS) or transferred to the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve (FMCR). Establishing and applying service limits for each grade is a critical element of the Marine Corps Enlisted Career Force Controls (ECFC) program whose purpose is to balance the inventory of Marines by grade and MOS to meet career force requirements.ģ.a. ![]() Additionally, this MarAdmin introduces new service limits for Sergeants.

The sixth grade was a "Buck" Sergeant (E-4). ![]() The Air Force used to have six grades of sergeant, while the Army and the Marines only had five. The rank's many duties and levels of responsibility have lead to several grades of Sergeant. When our Army and Marine Corps started in 1775 it was natural that both include Sergeants. It has been a key rank in British and European armies for several hundred years. Sergeant became a regular position and then a rank as army organizations evolved. Thus, we say SARgeant while the French and others say SERgeant. The SARgeant pronunciation became the most popular, however, so that when the Nineteenth Century dictionary writers agreed that the word should be spelled "sergeant" they could not change the popular pronunciation. The latter was closer to the French pronunciation. They spelled it several different ways and pronounced it both as SARgent and SERgeant. The English borrowed the word "sergeant" from the French in about the Thirteenth Century. The modern title "sergeant-at-arms" used by many clubs recalls armed Sergeants who kept order at meetings. He might lead others he might fight alone or as a member of a group of sergeants, or he might serve the lord of his village as a policeman or guard. Sergeant was not a rank but an occupation. The Sergeant would conduct what training he could to teach his charges to fight, lead them into battle and, most important, keep them from running away during a battle. As an experienced soldier he might be called upon to take charge of a group of serfs or other common people forced to serve in an army of feudal levies. He became an experienced warrior who might ride a horse but was not wealthy enough to afford all the equipment and retainers to qualify as a knight. He became a fighting man probably for self preservation because combat in those days often amounted to cutting down everybody in reach, regardless of whether they were armed. The Sergeant started out as a servant, serviens in Latin, to a knight in medieval times. ![]()
