coins

well i did good. i got my first navy challange coin. for those who dont know about what they are for, you get challange coins when you do something good for a chief or higher. i got mine because i helped a chief from another ship out here out. he needed a part for his ammunition elevator and i gave him the part he needed so they could pass a inspection. on it is engraved "Mors ultima linea rerum est". it is latin for "Death is everything's final limit". just thought it was a cool thing to put out there for you guys. i will try to upload a picture later. for the origin of this item check out this website- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge_coin
