937 Title not stated in source

SSN 937 was deleted with a reference to paragraph 16b, which provides conditional rules for classifying instructors rather than one universal replacement code. Normally, instructors use the SSN matching their field and scope of instruction, with "Instructor" added in parentheses to the specialty title.

Documented history

Title not stated in source

The deletion date is not stated. Change 2 was published on 30 June 1945, but that does not establish when the deletion took effect.

  • For personnel permanently assigned to instruction who lack qualification in a specialty related to the course, paragraph 16b authorizes Technical Instructor (SSN 659) if highly skilled, or Basic (SSN 521) if they have no military occupational specialty.
  • Appendix I does not state the deleted title for SSN 937.
Source extraction notes

Appendix I deletes SSN 937 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.
