Veteran moms ~ Need your help ~ 900's divisions
Hey guys,
I am starting to design the USS Reuben James Ship-2 challenge coin.
I need some current info on the 900's division so I can bring it all together. Are the 900's still considered/called triple threat? ..drill with rifle..flag carriers....band? What is some other info I should know about the 900 division. What is something that a sailor can link the 900 division to RTC Great Lakes?
Do you have any cool pictures or graphics for the various 900 sections (band, flags, drill)? I need to come up with some designs that would look cool.
The other coins were easy since it deals strictly with boot camp. The 900's division are a little different and I want to get the coin correct for the sailors...
Thanks again,
Craig

Did you ever get the coin DEVELOPED? My SR is in division 941 and I caught them (he is in the honor guard)in a parade in south Chicago this past weekend. Really a treat to see and talk and hug my son 2 weeks before PIR! Have some pics of the 941 honor guard group.

cincy - Sorry, I haven't. I have be just sooo busy at work. This coin is actually the hardest. Just so much stuff with it. I have to always have the sailors mind at heart. I have to make it perfect for them. I know 20 years from now when they show their own child their coin collection, I want the child to say "Wow, that's cool".
I'm hoping I will have something done soon.

For the group that just graduated, ship 02 div 941, they were staff. They were the side boys, body snatchers, etc.
