Documented history

MOS

Hazardous Material/Hazardous Waste (HM/HW) Staff NCO/NCO

The manual was effective May 15, 2006, but personnel implementation was explicitly deferred. No specific implementation date for this 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 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.

SSN

Rubberized Fabric Worker

Appendix B lists SSN 9954 as Rubberized Fabric Worker under September 1942 AR 615-26 and its supplements, with SSN 995 suggested as a replacement. This was not an automatic conversion: each affected individual's qualifications had to be reviewed against the manual's job specifications.

June 1945 is the manual's publication date. The entry gives no effective date for a change from SSN 9954.

  • No June 1945 title is listed for SSN 9954, and the suggested replacement does not establish that an individual conversion occurred.
Source extraction notes

Predecessor title from the AR 615-26 column: Rubberized Fabric Worker. Suggested conversions/remarks: 995. The table gives no row-level effective date. June 1945 is the manual publication date, not an effective conversion date.
