Subsistence NCO
June 1945 is the manual's publication date; no effective date is given for the suggested reclassification.
- The manual lists Post Exchange Man as SSN 820's June 1945 title. Retaining the number does not by itself establish a rename or replacement of either earlier specialty.
Source extraction notes
Predecessor title from the AR 615-26 column: Subsistence NCO. Suggested conversions/remarks, as printed: *819. Asterisks bind the suggestions to the correspondingly marked earlier title, not to an unmarked present-title meaning. The Present Title column is the manual's June 1945 meaning: Post Exchange Man. It is not a present-day MOS equivalence. These are suggested reclassifications subject to individual Qualification Card and job-specification review, not automatic or present-day equivalents. The table gives no row-level calendar effective date. June 1945 is the manual publication date, not an inferred individual conversion date.
