What's the MOS for Airborne, like 82nd Airborne to be exact (I'm writing an essay on the US military)?

"Airborne" is not an MOS. It's an additional skill that many different specialties can pursue.

11B is Infantry and they add the letter P for Parachutist

There is a skill identifier of P attached to your MOS, there is no Airborne MOS. For example I was a 51B2P Carpentry/Masonry Specialist with parachutist SQI , First three are your MOS, fourth is your skill level and 5th is your SQI.

A ‘P’ suffix to your MOS code 11B2P for example

There is no specific MOS. Instead an identifier of “P” is added to your MOS. So an airborne light infantryman who is a private would be an 11B1P.

Many here are saying the same thing. There is a Skill Identifier for being Airborne. But If you are in the 82nd you really want the "V" Identifier. It denotes that you are Airborne and Ranger Qualified.
