		<description>Good research Mr. Bone Head (we really need a better pseudonym for you),

The Coast Guard has many members of the NNOA.  We have no doubt that Lcdr. Watson does great work with that group as do many officers.  However, that&#039;s not what the ALCOAST advertised his &quot;program&quot; as.</description>

		<description>Just Googled LCDR Watson&#039;s name... and I found him to be a member of the National Naval Officers Association. Brief description of the organization is below.

&quot;The National Naval Officers Association (NNOA) actively supports the Sea Services in recruiting, retaining, and developing the careers of minority officers. The NNOA provides professional development and mentoring for its members. The NNOA continues to establish and maintain a positive image of the Sea Services in minority communities and educational institutions.&quot;

Now this seems to reflect the nature of what was said in the ALCOAST - although it is not a Coast Guard - nor his initiative. Truth in advertising?</description>
