Jimjumper Valued Member United States 331 Posts	Posted 04/03/2022 2:28 pm This coin is from the Chiefs Mess of the USS Chief (MCM 14), a wooden hulled minesweeper. I am a retired Chief Mineman, and the flag in my retirement shadow box (shown) was flown on the USS Chief. Edited by Jimjumper 04/03/2022 2:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94586 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 10:46 am Very nice, I love it! Question though - Why didn't you post your Rifle medal along with the pistol medal, instead you put your rifle award up as a ribbon... Collecting since 1972.

Jimjumper Valued Member United States 331 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 12:32 pm Because the medal for each is only awarded at the "Expert" level of qualification. I qualified expert pistol, hence a medal. But only "Sharpshooter" for rifle, which only qualifies as a ribbon. Edited by Jimjumper 04/04/2022 12:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94586 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 1:33 pm Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot that part. (it has been over 30 years since I was discharged, and remembering things like that is getting foggy) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 1960 Posts	Posted 05/05/2026 4:10 pm US Army Sixth Recruiting Brigade "Recruiting Excellence Award" Coin. From my last company command assignment (with the US Army Seattle Recruiting Battalion). Brigade commander gave these out if your company met its quarterly quota for both RA and USAR. Picked up two of these. I resigned my commission in December 1986 and never looked back. Had zero interest in extending my career via the USAR or NG. Reeded edge, 38mm. Report this Post to the Staff
