After I installed 1.0, my kerbals all changed specializations, except for the original 3. Is this a bug or is it intended due to adding female kerbal names? I'm starting to think it's intended

I think I see part of your problem, your persistent doesn't have your kerbals in it, it should, unless I'm missing it. Hope that helps. I'm working on a similar problem here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/117947-Kerbals-change-profession-when-Roster-shrinks

Can some of you guys who are familiar with the bugs tell us if kerbals are supposed to change professions when going from .90 to 1.0 upwards due to adding female kerbal names?

Hey, I have the same problem. After installing 1.0 - 1.0.2 all of my kerbals changed specialization. And I think i have replication steps. I flew a mission just before upgrading to 1.0, and one of my pilots was lost. I landed earlier in the mission, and I knew that it autosaved. So I closed KSP instead of reverting hoping to keep it from autosaving, and before I did it said vessel has been destroyed, cannot autosave at this point. So I loaded it up again, opened my game, and it turned out that it did autosave, my kerbal was listed as KIA. I loaded an earlier save before the crash and flew the mission. Then I upgraded to 1.0 - 1.0.2 and when I went back in, I noticed that all of my kerbals changed specialization except for the original 3. After reading this, I remembered that I lost a kerbal just before upgrading. It might have changed then. And I remember being able to use SAS with someone who wasn't a pilot.
