Radioman Challenge Coin | Spittin' Nickles

Stand tall, Sailor. You’ve earned this.

Forged for those who kept the boats talking deep beneath the waves, the Radioman Challenge Coin honors the elite communicators of the Silent Service. This rugged coin proudly bears the name "Spittin' Nickles," a nod to the salty radio slang for crystal-clear comms—five by five, loud and proud.

On the front, a submarine rides the surface under a field of stars, flanked by twin dolphins—the warfare insignia earned by all qualified Submariners. Below, the proud title "RADIOMAN" stands sharp and unyielding.

Flip it over and you’ll find the legend:
SPITTIN' NICKLES
1921 - 1999
A timeline carved in steel. 1921 marks the birth of the Radioman (RM) rating in the Navy, while 1999 signals the transformation into the Information Systems Technician Submarines (ITS) community. Through it all, the spirit of the Radioman endures—wired into the very hull of the fleet.

Five stars and the bold number 5 reinforce the comms heritage: perfect signal strength and clarity. When the stakes were highest, you made sure every word counted.
