I remember, as a young teenager (13? 14?) finding my father's Army Officer's Guide (hardback book, ca 1963). One of its chapters was a listing of posts, stateside and overseas, which had some divisional assignments. I took notes of that part, of course, since I'd only dealt with OBs in WW2 before that. In that pre-Internet era, that was big.
Obviously, nothing dealt with Vietnam at that date, and there was a lot on post etiquette and things. A peek into a different world.
Re: Vietnam-- Stanton's "Death of an American Army" was a very good read, too.
