Helicopter Specialist, AH-1Z/UH-1Y
The manual took effect on May 15, 2006, but personnel implementation was explicitly deferred. The 2006 transition year therefore does not establish an exact conversion date for MOS 9976, and none 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 category 8000/9000 to a regular occupational field. 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.
