Haven't found this particular item anywhere yet.  Might not be standard military issue, lol.  Lot's of history about the Wolfpack and Kunsan Air Base.

IYAAYAS stands for  "If you ain't ammo, You ain't sh*t"   This link gives the polite form http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/IYAAYAS

I like the AMMO slogan "turning the enemy into Hair, teeth and eyeballs"  Quite appropriate.

Generally, it's a coin or token representing any particular base, section, unit, or what have you - almost always military and sometimes from fraternities.  They are usually, traditionally, offered as a token of esteem or for a job well done.  Some times they are available for purchase.  Normally carried by unit members showing they are a part of that particular unit.

The challenge?    When challenged, the members, or all present, must produce the coin upon request or pay some sort of penalty - usually a round at the bar. The cool part is that if everyone HAS their coin, the challenger then must buy the drinks...

It's a moral builder and very cool tradition...

A google search for challenge coins will produce zillions of examples.



This year will be different, Ma....... I swear it!

I am going to paint that on my metal detector.

Thanks for the idea!
