Isn't that the job marky mark had in sniper??
sightlesslion
I love you and want to have your babies
NomDeImguerre
... Correct.
SierraKomodo
Oh hey, I've got one of those from when I was in JROTC: /a/3et6G
DoctorCatDog
I've got one of them! The SS coin...not sniper though...Dignitary Protective Division.

Not so secret anymore, eeeh?
MandingoNumber11
When I was in the army, I did counter sniper detail for Obama when he was still a senator. He was campaigning in Iraq. All I got was a hat.
RHFiesling
kind of ironic that the image is out of focus
MightyTightyWhities
These we discontinued right after JFK...
AmatureSpaceCowboy
HHAAAAaaaaaa.
railgap
Jesus that's got to be a hard to find challenge coin. I have a few, but since I don't drink any more, I never carry any of them anywhere.
railgap
but mine are all relatively easy to obtain, not like this
themercwithamouthdeadpool
Never doing a coin check around you lol.
Greymalum
But if you look down the scope long enough, the counter will become the Sniper. Then what, suicide?
shinagami091
Sniper nooooo sniping
xPsyck
He who snipes snipers, runs the risk of becoming a sniper himself. If you gaze into the scope, the scope gazes back
Lizaderp
That's a mirror
stoutde
Neat looking fidget spinner.
losguares
Is not a secret anymore
ReleaseTheKracken
Im interested in the backstory. Ive got all day OP
AmatureSpaceCowboy
I dont. So.. ● watch that for me would ya?
ReleaseTheKracken
Sure amigo/amiga
lolaluftnagel
The military offices/groups all have one and you give them out in gratitude and stuff.
ReleaseTheKracken
Ahhhhh, thank you for some insight
Pacifyer1
Really they should only be handed to individuals who have performed some task above expectation or to a very high degree.
bigsbyoo8
Cool
BeardedMenAreMyObsession
I didn't know how big challenge coins were until I started working in DC. My agency loves them.
nero4ty2
can you explain a challenge coin?
popejubal
Sometimes people in the military will make their own collectable coin and hand them out to people they meet and appreciate. It's a tradition
Lizaderp
E-penis
lolaluftnagel
Lol idk what youre supposed to do with them tho
Beepity
Whip it out at the bar to impress people
lolaluftnagel
I have two of the same coin lol
Beepity
Hey, some people have two. It's unusual, but not without precedent. Both work just as well alone, but both at once blows someone's mind.
lolaluftnagel
imjusthereforthemoneynotyourbs
Is it just the picture or is your scope of center?
BalrogOfCommentSection
It annoying as fuck!
Beat9the7beast
Off*
WillBelay4Beer
Scope shadow?
WillBelay4Beer
Actually it looks like the coin has a clear center where the crosshairs are, so it is actual scope shadow!
AGuyDC
It does. It is centered in person, I was just holding it a bit wonky so that it would contrast.
aftri
It's done on purpose to compensate for the Coriollis effect
DeliciousMeats
No it's not. It's because the coin has a clear window, it's like a 3D effect. Coriolis is just up and down not left to right.
tpkraft
It's left or right depending on north or south hemisphere.
FWAKADATHOOM
I thought left and right comes into play as the rotation of the Earth moves the target away when the bullet travels over a long distance.
FWAKADATHOOM
Or I might be wrong. Someone with more experience can confirm maybe?
tpkraft
You are right. It effects left or right depending on the hemisphere you are in
JalapenYoBizness
fight snipers WITH snipers
dogfrost9
Well.... yeah.
LettermanAirsoft
thats what counter-sniping is
WhoWantsAMustacheRide
Or Dva
Monkeybone5581
ending is near!
railgap
That is in fact, what you do.
Killickthere
But when you peer too long into the scope, the scope peers into you
poopslave
JalapenYoBizness
scopeception
rezpawner
Noobs. Clearly the right way to fight snipers is to send in someone wiht a knife from behind. Have they never played CS?
JalapenYoBizness
sniper duel maps were awesome
SuperSaiyanBlueGoku
I'm installing now.
WhatzitTooya
Who counters the counter snipers?
JalapenYoBizness
I can't counter that high
fabianvazquez262
Counter? I barely met 'er!

Megarith
the only other things that can is massed artillery and panzers.
railgap
Oh a beehive round in their general direction will usually do it. Or air support with Combined Effects Munitions (a kind of cluster bomb).
GreedyJungle
Or just 1,000 infantrymen running towards the snipers direction
Hybris51129
Well if your a WWII Russian general or a Chinese general this would work.
GreedyJungle
Or Ulysses S. Grant or Sherman
Killstealer
Or beehive artillery
DJasperProbincruxtheThird
Oh bee-hive!
Killstealer
railgap
Hah, great minds think alike. Did not see your comment before leaving mine.
Killstealer
I remember seeing an image set of the 46cm Yamato Beehive rounds for AA usage. impressive, even if they weren't really used in combat.
SHITTYBANANAS
Challenge coin? Someone at work gave my son one They are cool as shit
Lizaderp
I got my first one two weeks ago! :D
RadiumNation
RMO?
BXHOVAYPCK
Do you think you could shoot through that hole from 1000 meters
asnakeman
I have a challenge coin from the Sec of the Navy.
Lizaderp
Pics?
Pacifyer1
What did he do especially well for the person handing it out?
Uplinkdsanrok
One of my engineering mentors was an AF Raven got one from a SEAL because he captured and detained the sneaky SoB during an exercise.
Uplinkdsanrok
The exercise was defending a C5 Galaxy on the ground from an unknown aggressor. They were not told SEALs would be the enemy.
passerByer
Are those like the "achievement unlocked" badges but in real life? How is it verified that you pulled it off?
JTechnopotheosis

TheRealFireFrenzy
Its a combination of that and "i'm cooler then you you should buy me a beer and ask about it" as far as i understand the system .
TheRealFireFrenzy
As for how is it verified, its basically brocode AFAIK, you are expected not to bullshit people who can break you in half with their hands
canuckadian
Or you exchange/trade them. I was given/awarded 4 and I was lucky enough to trade a few others.
TheLyricGuy
Usually the unit they belong to (in this case the CST) will very occasionally give them out to people they feel have earned them somehow.
TheLyricGuy
As an example, my uncle is a chaplain and has received some from various departments he was worked with during crises.
Lizaderp
Think like you've accomplished something, but it's not quite worthy of an award.

I have a pretty good amount of them. They're great when the unit making them puts effort into them.
canuckadian
I have one that doubles as a bottle opener. It's pretty sweet.
LegionofMartyrs
I've got one that is a mini apache tail prop. Pretty cool.
KillerTofu615
I only have one, it was my battalion's coin. Silver leaf and SgtMjr, 1stMarDiv. I got presented with it when I got out of the hospital.
abigmoosenamedjerb
You get beat up for saying that in the military.
Hipcatjack
Pulled mine out as half a joke at the VFW, once.. I got some free beers...
chavnutsmcchav
No....no you don't. If you got beat up, they just didn't like you.
ThoughtfulSatan
They are cool, but the whole challenge itself is stupid
LegionofMartyrs
Except all the people that have their coins displayed on their desk. So have fun beating up every NCOIC in the Army.
chavnutsmcchav
Exactly!!!
KvatchGuard
why?
AsstRegMagician
theres an old wives tale that if you go to a bar and tell people to pull them out the person with the rarest/highest ranking gets drinks 1/2
AsstRegMagician
from everyone else for the rest of the night. You pull this shit at a military bar and you'll get stared at like your an idiot. 2/2
SlingingInk
It’s true! In my regiment the Senior enlisted would bash us young ones when we first entered. I carry my 75th coin just Incase. Lol
AsstRegMagician
Unless: they are a vet from WW2 or Vietnam. Ive met some pows that have done this to give their coins out and we always bought them drinks.
