Don't know about the late sixties, but I attended the Electronic Warfare 
Equipment Repair Course at USASCS Fort Monmouth, NJ in '64 & '65.  The 
first fourteen weeks were a course in basic electronics taught in the 
Radar School.  The last nineteen weeks were devoted to training on 
specific types of equipment.

Those first fourteen were a very good education in electronics of the 
vacuum tube variety.  I still rely on what I learned there.
