Message:: [QUOTE="Noah Worke, post: 26322283, member: 115032"]Hey everyone, back again from my annual summer break, though truth be told my posts will probably be a bit dry until I stop moving around so much. Anyway, the post is about the coin, so let's get into it.     Here we have my Airman's coin, which I earned on 7/9/2025, three weeks ago to the day. I was a Gator (320th TRS), I lucked out getting Disneyland. I may be biased, but I also would wager we had the best MTIs- the kind you look up to, but not the kind you aren't scared of. They were skilled, no doubt. Maybe it had something to do with my first flight having three MTI trainers pushing our flight. It's not my first challenge coin, but it's the first challenge coin I earned. I would say it's the least expensive coin I own, but truth be told, I paid for it with ten weeks of my life and a promise for several more, so it's probably the other way around. Anyway, I didn't really have the high-tech photography setup (books and sticky notes) so the photo is kind of bad, but I did my best.      On the Obverse, there's the Air Force symbol with the Air Force Motto above it. Interestingly, the center part is convex with resin making a bit of a dome over the Air Force logo. The reverse has the core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. It's stayed the same since the tradition began. I'm assuming here, but it's probably been done from the beginning since the Air Force is so new (1947). I'm not entirely sure what metals it's made out of, but it's not light as far as coins go. I don't have much more to say except I'm pretty proud of this achievement and I'm glad I can show it off![ATTACH=full]1680509[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1680510[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
