Clancy I, founder of the Pacific Group out in LA. The PG is the main "Clancy meeting" but there are lots of clones around.
Clancy is kind of a controversial guy. People either love him or hate him. The PG is, like your friend mentioned, very militaristic and structured; I have a friend who went to the NY satellite for a while (appropriately enough it's called the Atlantic Group) and was yelled at for not introducing herself as an "alcoholic" (she does both SMART and AA and doesn't use the label) and not dressing up for the meeting.
You can probably find out more by googling "Clancy I" "Pacific Group" and "Midnight Mission". He has quite the facebook page too.
