087 Forging-Press Operator

Appendix B identifies SSN 087 as Forging-Press Operator under AR 615-26 of September 1942 and its supplements, and suggests SSN 024 as a possible replacement. This was not an automatic conversion: each affected Marine’s Qualification Card had to be reviewed against the job specifications before a replacement was selected.
