Special Service School Instructor
June 1945 is the manual’s publication date; the entry gives no effective date for a classification change.
- Instructor duties generally shared the MOS and SSN of the corresponding functional specialty, so classification depended on the individual’s work and qualifications.
- Separate instructor specialties applied where no tactical or operational counterpart existed. SSN 659, Instructor (Designated Subject), applied only to rare enlisted instruction without a close military-job relationship or a specific instructor specialty, not automatically to everyone formerly classified under SSN 627.
