887 Radio Mechanic V

Appendix B identifies SSN 887 as Radio Mechanic V under AR 615-26, September 1942 and supplements, and lists SSN 774 as a suggested conversion. This was not an automatic transfer: each affected Marine’s Qualification Card had to be reviewed against the job specifications before reassignment.
