"4F" is "Four Front", isn't it? You had to have at least four front teeth to join the infantry, or else you couldn't rip your cartridge to load the musket.
What the heck is "1-A"? I've never heard of that before.
Talking of military/army codes/acronyms, etc., I'm reminded of this one, from the Australian Defense Forces:
"FRED".
Field-Ration-Eating-Device.
Or, due to it's fiddly design, was renamed by soldiers, the F***ing Ridiculous Eating Device.
