Attached are the AW (AWR, AWS, AWO, AWF, and AWV) rating sheets...
AWR (Tactical) = AW's flying in the new SH-60R.
AWS (Non-Tactical) = AW's flying in the 'new' SH-60S. Dont let non tactical fool you though. They do some Special Ops stuff too.
AWO (Operator) = AW's flying in P-3's.
Not sure about the other one's. I'm an AWR and most of us don't even know what the 'R' is for, but that is our edumucated guess
