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

Plugging my area, but...

Hanscom Air Force Base was operating in the 1970's (still is, but it changed in the last BRAC) and it's near Harvard, MIT, Boston College, Brandeis, Tufts, Boston University and about twenty other colleges. It also housed the Air Force Research Lab and the MIT Lincoln Laboratory. A lot of the original human-computer interaction work was done at Lincoln.

If you choose it, I can help you with local details.
