Unit asked for a volunteer to be the Chaplain’s assistant so I volunteered. However I’m not tracking the duties and task that they normally do

Chaplain Assistant is assigned a weapon and needs to be proficient with it, Chaplain may NOT handle a weapon.
This is a great opportunity for you to learn stuff outside your MOS. I don't mean 56 series stuff, but more staff stuff, which will come in handy when you make SGT. Dig into your work, get involved. Part of the Chaplains job is to assess morale of the troops and implement small things to raise morale. You are an extension of the Chap's eyes and ears. The Chap reports directly to the BN CDR. Do a great job (and don't forget your intel knowledge and duties) and you could see some serious fast tracking.

Didn’t think about it that way sergeant. It was a bit odd when the BN CDR thanked me for volunteering when they had the BN Closeout meeting on Microsoft teams

Admin duties, driving the chaplain, set up/tear down the area of service....protect the chaplain.

In garrison the CH Asst NCOs administer chapel funds, account for tithes and offering, coordinate Chapel events, they work most Sunday’s so the CH works out an alternate day, the run the CH calendar And do basic intake for the CH.
