536 Chief of Breech

The June 1945 manual lists SSN 536, Chief of Breech, under the earlier AR 615-26 titles from September 1942 and supplements, with SSN 845 as a suggested conversion. This was not an automatic conversion: each affected Marine’s qualifications had to be reviewed against the job specifications before selecting the appropriate specialty.
