808 Cryptanalyst

Appendix B identifies SSN 808 as Cryptanalyst under AR 615-26 of September 1942 and its supplements, and lists SSN 667 as a suggested conversion. This was not an automatic replacement: each affected Marine’s Qualification Card had to be reviewed against the job specifications before selecting the appropriate specialty.

  • The June 1945 Present Title column is blank, so the entry does not establish Cryptanalyst as the title then in use or a fixed transition to SSN 667.
