005 Brake Inspector, Railway

Appendix B identifies SSN 005 as “Brake Inspector, Railway” under AR 615-26 of September 1942 and its supplements, and lists 046 as a suggested conversion. This was not an automatic replacement: each affected Marine’s Qualification Card had to be reviewed against the manual’s job specifications.
