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.

In the Army, a soldier has a primary MOS and duty MOS. The soldier receives his duty MOS when he is assigned to a position. His duty MOS doesn't become his primary MOS until he qualifies for the position. Thus the expression "MOS producing schools."
