I'm aware that 42a are working in the S1 shop.
I was wondering if there are any other MOS's workin in S1.

42A Enlisted and 42B Officers are the only ones I've ever known to work in S1. Why do you ask?

I spent a couple of months as BN S1 as a 31A simply because they couldn't find anyone else dumb enough to take the job.

Depends on the level, and how strictly the unit holds to MTOE. We roll our legal (27D) and medical (68W) up under the S1 in garrison at a brigade HQ.

When I was a BN S-1 NCOIC, we only had 42A Soldiers working in the shop. The S-1 Actual was always a Captain (O-3) and in one place, we had an assistant S-1, who was a 1LT (O-2). At one point, before they assigned a permanent S-1, we had a Blackhawk pilot (CPT) as the S-1 Actual. Those were good times-- I got to spin-up the S-1 on policies and procedures, and he never kept us late on Fridays.

It depends on unit MTOE, but in my battalion for example, there are 27Ds as well.

You could very well have somebody working in there as a temp replacement or someone cross training for a lateral move. Nothing that would be listed in the T/0&E but it is something you may encounter. Why do you ask?

Ah, for a simpler time when 91B (68W) 83F (obsolete) 72B (obsolete) and 71F (obsolete) were the backbone of the S1 Shop, with a second louie as the S1.
