373 Post Exchange or Commissary Clerk

Appendix B lists SSN 373 as “Post Exchange or Commissary Clerk” in the June 1944 tentative manual and “Sales Clerk” in June 1945, with the reference “See also 819, 820.” That reference does not establish a split or automatic replacement by either code; any suggested conversion required review of the individual's qualifications against the job specifications.
