783 Radio Chief

Appendix B identifies SSN 783 as Radio Chief in the June 1944 tentative manual and suggests SSN 766 as a possible replacement. This was not an automatic conversion: each affected Marine’s Qualification Card had to be reviewed against the job specifications before the appropriate classification was selected.
