I lived on base at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, AL. The home of the Air War College. They have a great library, way better than the local library, and orders of magnitude better than the high school library. They had an entire section of PhD thesis on the shelves. I had to be escorted to that area, as it passed through the Top Secret documents area. A large security officer actually held my head so I would not turn my head to see what they were doing, and they all had to cover any documents they had out. I suspect that are is off limits to dependents now.
Long before the internet, it was a magical source of information for me.
