Documented history

MOS

Acquisition Specialist

The manual was effective May 15, 2006, but implementation in personnel systems was explicitly deferred, with no specific conversion date given for MOS 9960. July 20, 2006, is the announcement's publication date, not an established 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

Navigator-Bombardier

Appendix B identifies SSN 9960 as Navigator-Bombardier under AR 615-26 of September 1942 and its supplements, and suggests SSN 974 for conversion. This was not an automatic replacement: each affected Marine’s qualifications had to be reviewed against the job specifications before reassignment.

June 1945 is the manual’s publication date. No effective date is given for the suggested conversion.

  • No June 1945 Present Title is listed for SSN 9960; the reference to 974 does not establish a fixed transition.
Source extraction notes

Predecessor title from the AR 615-26 column: Navigator-Bombardier. Suggested conversions/remarks: 974. The table gives no row-level effective date. June 1945 is the manual publication date, not an effective conversion date.
