Your general occupational area is denoted by the first number (the only important one is 13, Field Artillery, but I hear the other fellows have numbers, too), and the more specific job of the soldier is given by the letter immediately following that number (13F is a Fire Support artilleryman, like SGT Doody, and 13B is a basic cannoneer/gun bunny, a 13A is an artillery officer, etc.). The individual skill sets are given by any following numbers/letters, such as a "P," which indicates the soldier is Airborne, it all gets a little more complicated at that point though, and I don't want to steer you wrong with any bad information.

edit: The first link provided to you was for the Marines, the next two were Army, we use different designations.
