General Service Marine
The manual was effective May 15, 2006, but personnel implementation was explicitly deferred. The year 2006 identifies the manual transition; no specific implementation date for the 9900-to-8000 conversion is given.
Source extraction notes
The cited source prints the MOS code but not its occupational title; no title was inferred. Enlisted MOS moved from reporting category 9000 to miscellaneous-requirements category 8000. 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.
