Plural form of abbreviation ending with "s"

Question

I am wondering how can We pluralize the abbreviation "TS" (Training Sequence)? Is it " TSes" or "TS's", I think It can't be "TSs"

I just think how can We pronoun it as /ti: es es/ if it's "TSs" — Kim Phụng Trần, Apr 09 '15 at 01:44
Just pronounce it /ti es ez. You would pronounce it that way regardless how you write it. — Brian Hitchcock, Apr 10 '15 at 08:16

Totally wrong: you've chosen the obsoleted versions, and dismissed the modern one:-)
