What is a challenge coin and what does one do with it?  |
Interesting article, thanks.

I dont keep mine at the office, too few people have them in my building that I'm afraid they'd disappear, so they sit on my kitchen island (we're GS, so coins arent as easy to come by as for the active duty folks). But I did tap a 4-star's coin when a few SOF guys challenged each other at the hotel bar we were staying at (we'd shared the bar a few times that week so they knew who I worked for). I'd just recieved it that day, thus I had it on me. They threw me a pile of drink tickets they werent going to use as the highest they had was the CG of SOCOM's (2-star, but could be argued to be better than mine due to SOCOM vs AMC).  Kharn |
+1 If a challenge coin is a coin that is given for some achievement, and if someone else has the same coin and "challenges" you, you have to present the coin, if you don't have it, you owe them a beer or some kind of drink. |

The best challenge coin I got while in, wasn't a coin at all. Platoon Commander gave us all a single link of a chain and told us that we were all part of the same chain, and that no matter how strong any single "link" was, the weakest "link" could break the chain. Lt. "Tackleberry" was a kick ass officer!
