Hi Nancy: from a genealogy point, those numbers would not provide any info if any at all. You would be better off to get a copy of their personnel records - NOTE: The numbers you have would come in handy for that. However, in the personnel records, there are only two documents basically that would provide useful genealogical information. One is a questionaire that all servicemen/women fill out upon entering the service and the other is a Emergency data form.
