Officer Promotion/Test Pilot Selection with Enlisted Background

[Flash]

Could someone please explain to me what the different designators are? Such as

VF NFO
VP NFO
VS NFO
VAW NFO
VQ Prop NFO
VQ TAC NFO


I tried google-ing it without much luck! Thanks!

I am just trying to better understand the O-4 selection info. Also what does In zone, Above Zone or Below Zone mean?

VF NFO = F-14 NFO
VP NFO = P-3 NFO
VS NFO = S-3 NFO
VAW NFO = E-2 NFO
VQ Prop NFO = EP-3 NFO
VQ TAC NFO = E-6 NFO

VP NFO = P-3 NFO
VS NFO = S-3 NFO
VAW NFO = E-2 NFO
VQ Prop NFO = EP-3 NFO
VQ TAC NFO = E-6 NFO

Thanks! Thats Awesome, but I forgot/missed 2 from the list

VAQ NFO
NFO (TRNG)

What are they, and also what do the different In, above, below zone mean?

That was my point, there should be no former A-6 guys up for LCDR, unless they got out and then came back in, and that would be rare. This year's board was for YG 98 (correct me if I am wrong), that is a year after they retired the last A-6 and 3 years after they shut down the RAG, so it would be pretty hard for there to be any real number of A-6 guys in YG 98, much less YG 99 like they have depicted. One or two I could buy, but 48 for both YG's?! The lack of VA NFO's makes me think it was a misprint or something.

I knew two former A-6 drivers (pilot and NFO) and one is probably retired by now and the other is the XO of VRC-30 (prior A-6 NFO). Of course not sure when they rolled out of A-6's.
