Title not stated in source
The deletion date is not stated. June 30, 1945 is the publication date of Change 2, not an established effective date for deleting SSN 880.
- Appendix I does not state the deleted specialty's title.
- The instructor rule does not establish one universal successor to SSN 880; the applicable code depends on the instructor's qualifications and assignment.
Source extraction notes
Appendix I deletes SSN 880 but provides no explicit SSN successor code. Printed directive: "(See par. 16b.)" No paragraph reference, ASTP symbol, or generic gun-crewman instruction was inferred into the SSN namespace. The table does not print the deleted specialty title, so the neutral title placeholder is used. The row-level deletion date is unstated. The citation dates Change 2 to 30 June 1945; that publication date is not an effective deletion date.
