I had my big meeting today things went much better than expected. I got my point across, they got theirs across, we tap danced around some issues and confronted others. All in all, pretty good. At the end of it all, the ranking officer gave me a coin. This just blew me away, because the organization it is from means a lot to me. it was such an honor that I got all weepy eyed. I'll try to get a pic of it and let y'all see.
Wow!!! That is really neat!
I think hair fainted.
I gotta go. I took that MMR vaccine, what...two weeks ago? I’m still having trouble with my joints because of it. Awful!
Gonna take a hot soak.
A challenge coin is a big honor for a GI to receive. It's an unofficial "attaboy" for something that can't be rewarded by an official medal. For a civilian earn to one is even a greater honor. You can also brag about a challenge coin, while you shouldn't brag about a medal.
You've earned your bragging rights. Be sure to learn about the challenge coin ceremony, so you can get free drinks when hanging out with the other troops, and not get stuck with the entire bar bill.
Now, that’s just cool!! Maybe you could have it mounted in a bail and hang it from a chain for a necklace, or put on your key chain!
