It was a primary duty, not a B billet. The same goes for Marines tasked to STA. As long as they are there that is their primary duty.
They may also replace the Marines existing MOS. Similar to how when a Marine Picks up Staff NCO in the infantry their MOS goes from 03-- to 0369, when they go to recon they become an 0321, etc.
Of course you may be right and it could be a B-Billet like SOI instructor, Recruiter, or DI.
You are correct about the secondary MOS, my mistake.
