Helped a local PD identify a old pos gun and later in the day a LT stopped by and gave one of his coins to me. Been hooked since. Never bought one, traded or helped someone and asked for one.

How did you get the Joint Staff coin?

I just have a handful, most I received after I left active duty. These were handy for the picture.

A good friend of mine is pretty high up in the civilian contractor business, he had a friend of his come into town to go on a turkey hunt, he saw my coins, couple weeks after they left that one and a couple more showed up in the mail.

With 30+ years in the military, I've collected quite a few. But none of them compare to this one.
My daughter received it this last November and her husband got one from the Second Lady. A spouse's coin?
But since he was a retiree, he got one from Pence too.

Every summer at our club I run 22 steel shoots to raise money for Veterans groups. The last three years we have raised money for Fisher House. This was given to me by my friend Bob.

Some neat ones floating around out there from some strange places you wouldn’t think had challenge coins.
it gives out to much info. If I was out of the program I’d show it all but for now that’s all.

This is my coin, of which we struck 100.
getting ready to strike another hundred soon since we have found so many of the old guys since we did the first iteration. I have a lot of coins but this one really means a lot to me.

Honestly, it was one of those right place, right time.
I was a young NCO trying to change the world!
Got this one last year working a security detail with US Marshals.
HA! I have the same one, and some of the other versions from this and its related "brother" projects
It’s a shame the program is going away, but I left it ~3 years ago and haven’t been keeping up or in touch with many that are left. I did see a FB post about some of the OGs taking their last flight.
It’s funny (but not) how quickly the calls and texts fall off. Even if you try to keep “a foot in the door” or keep up with what’s going on, it’s hard. Once I PCSed and then ETSed, now it’s either crickets or just a bunch of us old guys sitting around reminiscing.
I actually expected guys not to stay in touch before I even left the program. I helped train (I wasn’t an instructor, just helped new guys when they ask for it) a few CCTs, Rangers, SF, etc. guys and then after they get fully qualified they act like they didn’t know ya or you never see them again because of the rotation and locations change. But not all were like that. I still know a few cool guys, but don’t keep in touch.
