When the paratrooper course has been completed (as far as the army goes) a "P" identifier is suffixed to the end of your MOS number no matter what MOS you were beforehand. In other words, this is my MOS plus I've also been to airborne training.

Example: I was a 71F10 when I went to airborne training and I became a 71F10P after course complettion.

The "romeo" and "x-ray" they were referring to was probably their base MOS. Just about any MOS could go through airborne training assuming that they pass the screening tests and that the army has a justified need to have someone of that particular MOS have airborne training. It's basically a budget vs. need thing.
