FWIW, the following abbreviations from prior posts in this topic are acronyms:

CAP-USAF, SAR, FRO, LRADO

All the rest are initialisms, except FAM, which doesn't fit the definition for either acronym or initialism.


I'll be darned.  I stand corrected.  TLA and FLA should be TLI and FLI respectively, and most of the acronyms I was thinking of (OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, MPLS-TE) are actually initialisms.

I still have my FAAT book from my time in FEMA Corps last year haha. They issued it to me as soon as I got to the Baton Rouge JFO for the 1,000 Year Flood last year.
