Since vast majority of aircraft on carrier are now f-18, what happened to the vast majority of NFOs? Have they resigned or reassigned to a desk duties?

This is a legit question to ask WRT the Marine Corps...

Funnily enough, I've flown with "the last" Marine NFO, or EP-3 NFO, many times over the last four years. Had a sim with the last couple Marine NFOs yet again last week.
