621 Parachute Shop Chief

Appendix B identifies SSN 621 as Parachute Shop Chief under AR 615-26 of September 1942 and its supplements, and suggests SSN 620 for conversion. That suggestion required review of the individual's qualifications against the job specifications, not an automatic replacement of 621 with 620.
