Here is another extra point uselss point jrow.
Navy FRSs don't denote a training squadron (e.g. VFA-106 = East Coast Hornet FRS), whereas the Marines' still add a 'T' to the squadron name to denote training - even with fleet FRSs (e.g. VMFAT-101 = Marine Hornet FRS)

One more useless tidbit.
The two fleet C-2 squadrons are designated VRC (VRC-30 on the west coast & VRC-40 on the east coast) and both both squadrons are active duty. The C (composite) comes from when VRC-30 flew both the C-2A and the C-12 and VRC-40 flew C-2s and another airplane (dont remember which).
