Sorry for all the questions, just want to understand
Same basic rules. I was recently given a coin by one of the members. I just have to avoid Milkmanjoe around Boca because I know he'll challenge me if he runs into me.

Thanks John. I didn't know the detailed history. I learned the hard way to have one in my pocket when my brother visits!

Default My favorites
The first two are from my deployment; the triangle from the regional medical commander and the other is my coin. In the second set is one given to me by a special operator that I fixed up and the other from the CC of the best AF wing in the world.

I think I get it! But can you only be challenged by the person that gave it to you??

You can be challenged by anyone with a coin. If you challenge without a coin in your pocket, you're doomed.

As was said, anyone with a COTEP coin can challenge you.
