Challenge coins are like crack for POGs. Post your challenge

>>33880436
I'm feeling lazy OP, but I have coins from 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ID CGs, as well as a smattering of other coins.

Can someone tell me what challenge coins are?

Kid in my platoon got one last night from CSM Schroeder and none of us can really figure out why

>>33880979
on the spot attaboys from officers and senior NCOs. I heard a story once of some Spec that spent his own money and ordered like 100 coins with the Sham Shield and his name on them. Supposedly he would carry one or two around at all times. They said one day he gave one to the
Commanding General when he showed up while they were doing training. The General loved it and laughed his ass off. In the long run they mean nothing for you, just nice to have around.

>>33881032
three of those coins look like promotional, bullshit, including the Nasty girl coin and the MNF coin looks to be the only legit military coin.

>>33881048
Thats fucking hilarious. King of Spec 4s that one

All I get are certificates. Being a civvy sucks.

Isn't this crap literally the equivalent of a golden sticker handed out by an older man to a kid?

You can't put it on your OER so what's the point?

>>33881015
Same reason any coin is given out: Because it doesn't mean anything.

Brads. You do a platoon live fire that involves breaching a mine wire obstetrical, then clearing a trench. I saw the III Corp crest on his uniform and assumed you were at Hood. Krit= is the MPRC at Ft Hood where gunnery is shot by Brads and tanks

You're right. It isn't. /k/ is, however, a place where veterans have often gathered and where we post shit. If you hadnt spent your best years avoiding manhood and trying to be edgy on the internet and had instead done what many of us here did then you might have had something of substance to contribute to a stupid "coin collecting board". I love weapons, in fact, ill leave you with a coin I was given when I got to the place where I learned more about weapons than anywhere else. I feel sorry for you Callum. You're sad and you're a genuine fucking loser.

>>33882709
Veterans gather to brag about the unwars that they couldn't win. 3.5 years to defeat Japan and Germany. Still can defeat Muslims in the middle East, not 14 years into the fight. Yeah you have a lot to brag about and your second place coins to show off.
