You must have miss one of the basic badges before you reach 20K, even if you get them after 20K you will still keep your Master Sergeant rank.

Like now, if you don't get your basic ground defence or your basic Air defence before 50K, you won't get Master Sgt, but a lower rank until the next rank.

Yes, you still get your unlocks... You just don't have the bragging rights of having the higher rank...

Which REALLY only matters if you are trying to be commander.

Example:

You (a Master Sergeant) apply for Commander at the start of a round.

|SAF|Luckybaer (a First Sergeant) applies for Commander at the start of the same round.

|SAF|Luckybaer will get the nod over you because First Sergeant is "higher" than Master Sergeant.

Now, if a Sergeant Major applies for Commander at the start of the round in question, both you and |SAF|Luckybaer are outranked, and hence, the Sergeant Major will get to be Commander.

When you cross the 20,000 point threshold, you will be awarded one of two ranks ... First Sergeant is awarded only if you have received all required awards/badges.  Otherwise you will become a Master Sergeant. 

You cannot, therefore, advance to First Sergeant.  Your next promotion is at 50,000 points.

It's all in the UBAR (see the top for a description of rank progression):
