In cases like this ask yourself a simple question: If there was only one 1stSgt, where would I put the apostrophe? Obviously you wouldn't put one anywhere. So if you are talking about more than one 1stSgt (1stSgts) then the "s" at the end signifies plural, and plurals do not, by themselves, get an apostrophe. One TV. two TVs.
