I could see getting info from an IO. I used to write my radio spot for AFVN from the SitRep produced by CMAC G2 (I presume).  I had to burn them when I was finished but in a larger office I bet the civilians would be able to get their hands on them.  We had no civilians in our office.  I took this photo outside CMAC Tactical Operations Center (TOC) in late 1968.  At the time I thought it was comical.

I just watched a program on the end of the Vietnam War on Japanese TV. It included a section on a spy ring in Saigon (only one of many). It included a leader with three sub-leaders and about 45 "assistants." One of the sub-leaders was the manager of a BOQ or BEQ in Saigon and he would go into rooms during the day and look for information. Another was a rather attractive young (at the time) woman who worked as a secretary in a US Military Office of Information somewhere. She got a lot of her information from things she would be asked to translate and, then to get her notes out of the compound without being searched, she would get some officer or enlisted man to "give her a ride home because it was raining" etc.

PS: I saw a picture of her when she was younger--as best as I can recall she didn't work at AFVN in 70-71.
