QUOTE: Originally posted by M636C Dan, I retract my doubts about your earlier identification of the author of this thread! But as to support, I assume the USN support "NCIS" and "JAG" for PR and recruiting purposes. It isn't illegal or misleading to do so. Or are they smarter than that and get the PR for free? Could we have a "Paranoia and Xenophobia" thread. Somewhere for Roswell enthusiasts to post? Peter

The "Hunt for Red October" was published by the Naval Institute Press, which is not affiliated with the US Government. The Naval Insititute is the Navy's (primarily Officer) professional organization. Closely allied but a private organization.
