The Blue Falcon Story was freaking hilarious. Zach’s love for his M16 saved him from the pit, but got almost everyone else into it.

Couple years ago when I went to college, I was on the battleship Wisconsin at Nauticus taking pictures for a photography project. There was a small re-enlistment(?) happening towards the front of the ship and I was waiting off to the side for the ceremony to concede and I could take pictures of the older officers in their white uniforms. I see a younger sailor in ceremony whites running up to me out of nowhere and asked if I was there to take pictures of an event. I said I wasn't and was just getting pictures where I could for B roll (I had a professional camera around my neck). The sailor told me to follow him towards the back of the ship and explained that there was a high ranking commander that was retiring, and the photographer for the event was a no show. I went over and there were about 100 people all in ceremony whites and the sailor said to act professional and get in there like a photographer, get plenty of pictures of the ceremony, and to mainly get pictures of the retiring commander when he receives his medal board, and when he did his final dismissal from duty. I took many, many pictures of everyone there, the ceremony, the medal board and the final walk, all the sailors, the commander with his family, etc. After it was all over I was talking to the sailor who first fetched me and the commander came over and shook my hand, palming me a standard USN Carrier Strike Group 2 coin. I thanked him profusely and agreed to transfer all the pictures to a flash drive he can use. A few weeks later (and several technical difficulties) I managed to get the thumb drive and met with him to hand it over. When I give him the thumb drive, he hands me another coin, this one shaped like a badge and 2 tridents on either side, a more elaborate Carrier Strike Group 2 medal. He said it was his personal thanks for saving the memories of his retirement and i thanked him for one of the coolest experiences of my life. td;dr: Got 2 Carrier Strike Group 2 coins as a civilian for photographing a high ranking sailor's retirement.

She and I usually would talk while I was cleaning my p-way during cleaning stations and I had helped her with a couple of things because she wasn't ships company. I had gone to her a few times for mentorship and such because she was one of the good ones. When she handed it to me I couldn't even say anything.

I believe 3 passed out and one went to the hospital, makes me miss the military.

i like this 509th story. they guy knew he was imposing on and reaslised the magnitude of what he was asking. like zach said, they guy was nice about it. appreciation and recognition of how much they are asking of you is big tbf zach, what you did doesnt sound like a blue falcon. they snitch on people. you did as you were trained to do, your DS than gave you specific instructions , which you followed. you did this without tattling, thats the difference

I went and augmented the OpFor at Ft. Polk and I got a Army Achievement Medal for killing a platoon of 4th ID scouts single handedly. I was pretty pleased with myself.

My dad was a civilian contractor for the military following his services in the army and at some point became good friends with (now former) General B. B. Bell (yes, that was his actual initials IIRC. I know his last name was bell, and I'm pretty sure on the initials). And General Bell, at some point prior to his retirement, gave my father two of his personal challenge coins to give to me and my sister (I think I was around 6 at the time), So my sister and I both have a challenge coin from a 4 star general, despite neither one of us ever serving in the military.

"And he asked nicely" I swear, so much can be accomplished if you just ask nicely, people are way less likely to give you pushback and way more likely to just say "sure no problem" if you just ask nicely.

Hey, I came across your channel and these stories because of watching Fallout videos, and I have to say that these videos, stories of the military, are really wonderful. It's a great insight into how things work, and it also reminds me of my two Uncles, Uncle Steven and Uncle David, when they'd come home from being out on deployment and talk about their experiences. They were both regular army, Canadian Military, although my Uncle David also had a stint in the UN Peacekeeping Forces which included a tour of duty in Cypress in the mid-80s. So hearing these stories, it just... you know, feels heartwarming, like having a piece of them back again as they've both passed away some time ago. Thank you.

The only coin I got is the one I got from being part of the Nordic Battlegroup. We didn’t get deployed, we didn’t do anything but participate in the Joint Action exercise (... Dear gods I got so many stories from *that* exercise!) and take inventory over and over again. Still, it’s a pretty cool coin and a way to help me to remember “the good old days” :)

0:10 I've never been in the military so I've never got a challenge coin before, but the closest thing I can compare to a challenge coin was when while working as a freight conductor I stopped for a switch banner (basically a reflective set of targets they put in switches so we'd actually look at them rather than just running through it) then like 3 train masters came out and gave me what I call a railroad challenge coin which, they probably gave to everyone but still

I had an almost identical experience in basic, Sunday was church day, we had the day to do whatever to get our gear prepped for the next week, and people got to attend the service of their choosing. I was sitting at my bed, cleaning the training rifle they gave us, when I noticed someone come in. It was a Sargent. I began to rise to call his entry when he pointed right at me then put his finger to his lips in the shushing motion, wrote down who had fallen asleep on their beds, went to the other bay, I heard a sharp squeak of surprise from one of the others, he left, the next day everyone caught sleeping had to go do extra drills.
