Just off the top of my head:

Ian Punnet
Peter Weissbach
George Knapp

Any one of whom is better qualified to man the helm of C2C.

... Noory also spent nine years in the United States Naval Reserve as an officer, being awarded the distinguished Navy Achievement Award

does OCS produce active duty officers & NROTC produce reserve officers? I'm confused ...
but the "no boot camp for me" sorta tips it toward NROTC ... ?

The United States Navy's Officer Candidate School (OCS), located at NAS Pensacola, Florida provides training to become a commissioned officer. Attendance at OCS is one possible way of becoming an U.S. Navy officer (the other including the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC), graduation from United States Naval Academy, or Officer Indoctrination School). OCS classes are designated by the fiscal year of their graduation (e.g., 08-04 was the eighth OCS class to graduate in fiscal year 2004; 01-05 was the first OCS class to graduate in fiscal year 2005).

NROTC/Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps:
Under the modern U.S. Naval ROTC system, graduates become active duty officers rather than reserve officers. The Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps commissions individuals into either the United States Navy as an Ensign or United States Marine Corps as a Second Lieutenant. (The two ranks are equivalent). While attending college, these prospective officer candidates are known as Midshipmen. Whereas Naval Academy Midshipmen are on active duty, NROTC Midshipmen are in the Naval Reserve but are on active duty for periods of training during the summer. The primary difference is that NROTC Midshipmen attend an ordinary civilian college or university, whereas Naval Academy Midshipmen attend the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, which is a much more regimented, military environment.

ROTC is one of the three main ways to become a U.S. Naval Officer. The other ways include the Naval Academy and Navy Officer Candidate School (OCS). OCS admits candidates who already have a college degree, and is similar to a boot camp for officers. ROTC and Academy graduates are generally required to become Unrestricted Line Officers, while Navy OCS graduates can choose to become Restricted, Unrestricted Line or Staff Officers. Unrestricted Line Officers are Surface, Submarine, Aviation, or Special Warfare (SEAL) Officers. The restricted line includes other officers, such as Naval Intelligence and Information Warfare officers; Staff officers serve supporting roles such as JAG officers and medical officers.

The Achievement Medal is the lowest of the United States military’s meritorious service medals. The Achievement Medal was first proposed as a means to recognize the contributions of junior officers and enlisted personnel who were not be eligible to receive the higher Commendation Medal or the Meritorious Service Medal.

Since the Achievement Medal is designated as an award solely for junior personnel, it is generally only awarded to officers in the pay grade of O-4 and below and enlisted personnel below the grade of E-7

Welcome finngirl, and thanks for sifting through wikipedia for us. I'm still confused, but understand a little better now.

Also -glad to see you back, Clatu! You were absent for a few days, and I was worried about you.

To Mosby's Raiders:

Doesn't George Knapp have a regular gig? I never fail to smile when I read that you're "in Dixie".

His day job is as an investigative journalist for KLAS TV in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Knapp was one of the first people to report on the strange UFO goings on at Area 51 and that there was a possibility that alien technology was being tested there back in 1989.

He also wrote a book called "Hunt for the Skinwalker" with Colm Kelleher. A pretty good read if I do say so myself. Don't read it at night.

Knapp is the reporter who investigated the story and aired Robert Lazar's S4 situation, I believe it was 1989. Knapp's an ace reporter on EBE/UFO stuff. GN asked him to contribute to Coast to Coast AM when needed a few months ago. I don't know what transpired after that as to if George Knapp was consigned? But what a great enhancement that would be to CtC.
