Narrative:

After several vectors from both new york and ZDC, we were told to head 230 degrees and intercept J75. We proceeded to head 230 degrees via FMS heading select, but forgot to select LNAV intercept for J75. We flew through J75 and was notified by ZDC that we were 5 mi south of J75. After another vector of 280 degrees, we intercepted J75 and proceeded on course.
