Alright so I started the collecting phase, I did bobbleheads already so i am moving on to the skill books.

Well I got to the Covert Ops group and #7 Isn't at the location it should be in. It's title reads "Getting the drop on communist". I have triple checked with my book shelves and my stats. I have 5 points 5 points out of 10. This means I am missing 5 Books, I have 5 Covert Op books on my shelf. I read the titles of them and they are as follows: FH 5-10 Tiptoe Through the Tuplips,Whistling in the Dark, Facepaint Fundamentals, Bushes, Boxes And Beehives Camouflage Special, FH 5-04 Not the Soldiers You're Looking For. So I am missing the following: FH 5-07 Getting the Drop on Communists, Look Better in Black, Squeaky Floorboard Sudden Death, Who Goes There?, Urban Camouflage.

7 Is supposed to be in National Guard Training Yard on a table in the cafeteria of the Barracks, near a cooler. I have watched 2 different videos of the location and I searched the area repeatedly even on the ground and separate areas just in case it somehow got moved off the table.

Has anyone else had this issue or heard of it?
Do the book locations randomize (I'm 90% certain that they don't)?

Could a companion have grabbed it?

It is there I have it. Look for the main cafeteria counter in the NGTC Barracks. It is on the first floor.

I don't think companions can grab them unless you order them to.

I know where it is supposed to be, I said that in the post. Its on the table in the cafeteria next to one of those blue coolers. i know exactly where it is, I watched a handful of videos and looked up a handful of guides just to make sure I wasn't crazy.
