First Sergeant/Sergeant Major
As a First Sergeant/Sergeant Major your duties would be to train, educate, and counsel your Marines. You must also enforce all articles governing the UCMJ (United Code of Military Justice). Any of the Marines under your charge caught in violation of these articles will be subject to disciplinary action, given under your hand. As a First Sergeant or Sergeant Major you are directly responsible to the Commanding Officer as their senior enlisted advisor.

Master Sergeant/Master Gunnery Sergeant
The realm of the Master Sergeant/Master Gunnery Sergeant is quite different. Whereas the Sergeant Major takes an administrative role, the Master Gunnery Sergeants are masters of their MOS. They take a behind the scenes approach to ensure the operational success of their respective MOS. Master Gunnery Sergeants are even eligible to become an MOS Monitor. An MOS Monitor is responsible in distributing manpower throughout the Marine Corps entire MOS.
A Sergeant Major and Master Gunnery Sergeant have equally important roles in the Marine Corps. It is up to them to take the administrative or technical helm, respectively. Without them our Corps would have no direction. A Master Gunnery Sergeant can be critical in the creation of Joint Regulations and updating Technical Manuals. A Sergeant Major however could eventually be eligible to hold the billet of Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps.
Either way a Marine chooses to go, they must embody the persona that each billet holds. A Sergeant Major and Master Gunnery Sergeant can hold much weight in influencing the direction of the Marine Corps. That is a responsibility that cannot be taken lightly.
