Think of think about в чем разница
Difference between «think of» and «think about»
Is there a difference between «think of something» and «think about something»? I’ve also met «have heard of/about something».

In many contexts, think of and think about are effectively interchangeable.
«They say Greece may leave the Eurozone. What do you think of/about that?»
«I’m thinking of/about looking for a new job»
In other contexts, to think of something means you’re at least aware of the thing, but may not have given it a great deal of consideration. If you think about something this normally implies more focussed or extended attention.
«I never thought of doing that!» (that possibility never crossed my mind).
«Have you thought about my birthday present?» (have you considered/decided what to get me?)
Much the same distinction applies to hear of/about. You might say you’ve heard of something meaning no more than that you’re aware «something» exists. But if you’ve heard about something the implication is you’ve heard some important/current information about that thing.
«I’ve heard of Amy Winehouse» (the name is known to me, but I don’t necessarily know any more).
«I’ve heard about Amy Winehouse» (strongly implies knowing of her untimely death).

That’s tricky but think is the general verb and can be used many many different ways. I would say you use «think about» is for broad subjects and «think of» is for something specific. (But it depends)
«I think her name is terry»
«I think her birthday is in December»
«What do you think?»
«I couldn’t think of her name»
«I don’t want to think about school»
«What are you thinking about?»
Sometimes think about and think of can be used interchangeable
«Think about a time you felt nervous»
«Think of a time you felt nervous»
» Think» is when you have a thought about something or someone. If someone were to tell you » Think of a blue fish» Then you would imagine a blue fish. » Think about» is around the same idea. If I said » Think about what you want to eat.» You would imagine what food you want to eat.
Think is just the action. To think of something means you are actively trying to come up with an idea. To think about something is when you remembering something. You also might have someone or something particular you are thinking about. Also you can use think if you are unsure about your answer to a question. Examples: I think it is time to go. She likes to think about her mom. He thinks of different colors to paint the wall. She likes to write notes when she thinks of ideas.

in the two example sentences, although they are grouped in the same entry, you can’t really switch them around.
«I thought about you immediately when they said. » sounds a little awkward, but if it was just «I thought about you» it would be fine, although the meaning would change.
«he thought of the time he spent in the army» can sound out of place as it is a little too poetic for most situations
