792 Radar Operator, Ground Equipment

Appendix B identifies SSN 792 as “Radar Operator, Ground Equipment” in the June 1944 tentative manual and suggests SSN 514 as a conversion option. This was not an automatic replacement: each affected Marine’s Qualification Card had to be reviewed against the job specifications before selecting the appropriate classification.
