399 Reporter

Appendix B lists SSN 399 as Reporter under AR 615-26 of September 1942 and its supplements, and as Publication Man in June 1945. Its instruction, “See also 274,” is a cross-reference, not an established conversion to SSN 274 or an explicit cancellation or rename.

Documented history

Reporter

June 1945 is the manual’s publication date; no effective date for a classification change is given.

  • Any suggested substitution required individual qualification review against the manual’s job specifications, rather than automatic conversion.
  • Publication Man is the June 1945 title, not a present-day occupational equivalent.
Source extraction notes

Predecessor title from the AR 615-26 column: Reporter. Suggested conversions/remarks, as printed: See also 274. The Present Title column is the manual's June 1945 meaning: Publication Man. It is not a present-day MOS equivalence. This is a cross-reference or instruction to review the job specification, not an explicit fixed replacement or proof of cancellation. The table gives no row-level calendar effective date. June 1945 is the manual publication date, not an inferred individual conversion date.
