I think I have it but correct me if i'm wrong? I'm trying to fill in the blanks on SIDSIKO post and I need some help. I can not find pictures of NABTC Whiting Fields BTG-2,-3 or -6 (letters only tail code) or a T34 in VT-30, all the info I find on ATU-301/VT-30 is Skyraiders or Trojans?
Accepted on charge by the US Navy at Witchita, 10 Aug 1955.

In 1956 the T-34's began their transfer to Saufley Field. By 1957 all training aircraft at Whiting Field were T-28's. The training squadron designations from 1956 to 1960 were BTG-2 (Basic Training Group), BTG-3, and BTG-6. By the end of 1957 the tail codes for these squadrons were 2G, 2W, and 2P respectively. On February 12, 1959 the Navy officially changed the color scheme of all training aircraft to a basic white and red trim.
In 1960 the naval flight training program saw a major reorganization in naval aviation flight training. On 1 May 1960, BTG-2 (Basic Training Group), BTG-3, and BTG-6 were re-designated VT-2, VT-3, and VT-6 respectively, the tail codes remained 2G, 2W, and 2P respectively. VT-2 and VT-6 were located at North Field; VT-3 at South Field.
