The expo allowed Guardians of all levels, "from the top levels of Commandant Allen right on down to the [Operational Specialists] working in the command center that are using AMVER, diverting ships and saving lives", to show off new ideas and expand on the missions of the Coast Guard.<br /><br />Ben Strong, featured in this week's SCUTTLEBUTT, did a nifty little piece about it in the AMVER blog.
