I know it has something to do with flying for the navy’s fleet logistics support like the C-9, C-40, C-20, and C-130, but what exactly do they stand for?
jrow hit everything else.
TAR is an old term for a componet of the Reserve force.
"Full Time Support (FTS) is the new name for Training Administration of the Reserve (TAR)."
Here is another useless extra point jrow.
Navy FRSs don't denote a training squadron (e.g. VFA-106 = East Coast Hornet FRS), whereas the Marines' still add a 'T' to the squadron name to denote training - even with fleet FRSs (e.g. VMFAT-101 = Marine Hornet FRS)
