It's funny , I went through Primary at VT-6 almost 20 years ago (well, 18) and people talk about the same stuff. In my day the perception was that Vt-6 was a little more laid back, VT-3 were the grading nazis and VT-2 was somewhere in the middle. Bottom line though is the everyone flew the same FTI and MCG - so the nuances of each squadron were just hyped.
Is tha awful mess shack still there? God I don't know how many dozens of sliders I ate there flying 2 x's per day.
The T-34C will be no great loss to see it go - it's time. Old airplane.
