Anyone know

Of some place where there's a US military base near a university? Preferably with a decent maths department (yes, I know Americans call it math *g*). Oh, and both must have been around in the early 1970s. And located actually in the US

I want John Sheppard's father to have been posted there, in case anyone was wondering. I don't think we know canonically whether John's father was in the military at all, but for story purposes I've decided to make him a military officer. I'm undecided whether he should be air force or army (although not navy) so either an air force or army base works.

Many thanks in hope. *g*

ETA: Location of the base must be in the US for plot purposes

No idea of US military bases, but the bio of Sheppard on the scifi channel website says that he's "the son of a respected Cold War colonel", so that's at least semi-canonical until actual canon confirms or contradicts.

Yes, I think it is semi-canon at present - certainly the majority of stories I've read to date posit a military background for John's father. Although IMO until it is canon, writers are equally free to give him a completely different background if they wish.

But the military one works for this particular story, I think.
