roadrunner Posted October 28, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2016 Hello CIB is not my collecting area but this looks nice and was cheap, so I bought it. I like the details ( para wing, tank, streamers, flag, para scene, heli ) Michael . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHASEUSA11B Posted October 28, 2016 Share #3 Posted October 28, 2016 Very cool coin. I believe the tank is actually a Bradley and the symbol for the master gunners course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd12 Posted October 28, 2016 Share #4 Posted October 28, 2016 This is a coin that was sold in the Ft. Benning PX. It has all the iconology of various Ft. Benning schools; Airborne, Ranger, Mech LDr Course/Master Gunner, etc... The soldier is the "Follow Me" statue in front of Infantry Hall. Now that Benning is the Maneuver Center of Excellence, this coin and its "Follow Me" motto is obsolete. Me and most of my Ranger buddies all bought one of these, though never had them engraved. Neat to have a name on it and looks like it was carried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted October 28, 2016 @rd12 Thank you for the information. Are there different reverses with different degrees of the CIB ( w/o, with 1 star ) ? Why Army administration rename all and everything, make that obsolete and create new items/uniforms/names nobody like ? What was good for the last 50 years (and more) would be good for the next 100 years ? ! Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
