If QM = Quartermaster, what does YY mean?

What does YY mean as a Branch abbreviation?

I'm data crunching the recent CPT list for USAR/NG and totaling them by branch, and YY came up as a Branch. Does YY mean "multiple" branch qualified? Because none of the YY's have the same branch in AKO.

Is it TOPMIS output that becomes the "list"? Haven't seen the ARNG version of a promotion list.

You may want look at:
AR 611-1 Military Occupational Classification Structure Development and Implementation
Smartbook DA PAM 611-21

My other thought is they are functional area designated like Acquisition Corps, although the AD list they show as AC. Are there a lot of these YY officers?

MOS wise YY usually is the placeholder for "no language assigned or qualified", like with "O" as " no SQIs" (its an O not a zero), it may be a placeholder for unqualified.

Sir, the only YY's I know about are as CW2 Private RallyPoint Member pointed out for MOS on your ORB and deployability code in RLAS for Reservists.
