So, the Kearsarge will be written, I just don't know when. I still need the USS Shields, USS Hopper, and the USS Burke done 1st.... but I will have a story written. I want the deppers/sailors to understand the meaning of their ship.

Thank Craig. I got the coin in the mail today & it looks great! You did a fantastic job on the design. Good luck with the remaining coins!

All - Hey guys wanted to let you know some interesting news. The company I have been designing the Navy boot camp challenge coins for has ask that I become a partner.

Now that I have only one challenge coin to complete, Ship-2, and after much consideration, I have decided to become part of their company.

Now that I'm almost done, I can spend more time here. I really miss the old days talking to you guys....

Woo-hoo.... Go Navy!!!

Hello Craig:
Do you know if there will ever be a coin for the USS Marvin Shields. It was Ship 13 when our gandson was in BC. It's great news that you will be able to spend more time at the site. Your words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.

OOOPS!! Excuse me, Craig. As I scroll this thread, I see that you have completed the 'Marvin Shields." YAHOO -- can't wait to get this for the holidays. Thank you so much, Craig

Hey Connie,
I have completed the Marvin Shields. It is now out for minting. It should be ready in about 2 weeks. Just keep checking ebay at this link:

Hi Craig. I wanted you to know that my son loves his coin. None of his friends have one from boot camp, so it makes it all the more special.
Have a very Happy New Year!

I glad he likes it. I think they look really cool looking.

I've been so busy trying to get the coin project going that I haven't had much
time to spend on NavyDEP. As you know, this (the coins) is the only way I have to keep this website going. I've recently have had to go to another host because I was constantly getting hackers trying to get it.
I'd much rather get all the necessary "toys" I need so I can spend my time with helping deppers that chasing hacker throughout the website.

Thanks for helping me by getting that coin for your son...
