Documented history

Martial Arts Instructor-Trainer

The manual was effective May 15, 2006, and the announcing message was published July 20, 2006. No specific implementation date for the 8552-to-0917 conversion is given, so 2006 identifies the manual transition rather than a confirmed conversion date.

Source extraction notes

The cited source prints the MOS code but not its occupational title; no title was inferred. Enlisted MOS moved to new occupational field 09, Training. The manual is effective 2006-05-15, but personnel/HRDP implementation is explicitly deferred, so effective_to is null. No row-specific effective date is printed; year-only precision reflects the 2006 manual transition.
