Challenge Coin

[aramis]

Just FYI, I know where my coin is... but I'm 1574 miles from it. I'll let y'all know what I got when I get back on the 10th or 11th.

#18 Commander (Lt Colonel O5), Headquarters, Seventh Reserve Battalion (Vargr Infantry), 4518th Lift Infantry Regiment

#1771SG (First Sergeant S5) Gamma Company (Anti-Psionic), Eleventh Reserve Battalion (Anti-Psionic),

 

[Ackehece]

IMTU 'Tinfoil Hats' is a colloquialism for psi shield helmets and 'Spoon Benders' is a derogatory colloquial term for psionics.<sup>1

1</sup> This is a pre-3I setting so it pre-dates the psionics suppressions. Psionics is largely disbelieved and assumed to be quackery or chicanery.

As above... I am first sergeant of the anti-psionic division. Our Helmets are not tinfoil. We Know The Truth <- company motto

Funny. We are in the same unit.....HEY! Why are we running the pound?

Because it is the job you all do here?

In addition to coin #15, I also have coin #53:
53 Doctor (XenoMed) (Captain O3), Regimental Medical Section, 4518th Lift Infantry Regiment
The non-humans think his nickname is "The Vet" because of his long service and combat experience (which he has), but many humans know the inside joke.

Roster Entry 247: Executive Officer (1st Lieutenant O-2), Gamma Company (Lift Infantry), Fourth Battalion (Lift Infantry), 4518th Lift Infantry Regiment

Character's name is Alasdair Morgan Gunn, which I've used for Traveller (long since an NPC Patron) and the SCA since 1978.

I typed up a Traveller Wiki entry for him under a Non-Canon entry.

Whulorigan was instrumental in correcting how I approached adding Alasdair.

Thanks for reply, I will have a look into it. I have only tried on my PC and still have a few issues to explore. Again, thanks for message. (have a look in .jar file at goodies, opens like a zip file). I have started to set it up for MindMaps and picture creation.

Program shows (N)COs in selected portion of LIR (Example for #279 below)
279,Platoon Leader (Lieutenant O2),Third Platoon,Delta Troop (Lift Cavalry),Fifth Squadron (Lift Cavalry),4518th Lift Infantry Regiment
469,Platoon Sergeant (SSG S4),Third Platoon,Delta Troop (Lift Cavalry),Fifth Squadron (Lift Cavalry),4518th Lift Infantry Regiment
791,First Sqd Ldr (Sgt S3),Third Platoon,Delta Troop (Lift Cavalry),Fifth Squadron (Lift Cavalry),4518th Lift Infantry Regiment
803,Fourth Sqd Ldr (Sgt S3),Third Platoon,Delta Troop (Lift Cavalry),Fifth Squadron (Lift Cavalry),4518th Lift Infantry Regiment
817,Second Sqd Ldr (Sgt S3),Third Platoon,Delta Troop (Lift Cavalry),Fifth Squadron (Lift Cavalry),4518th Lift Infantry Regiment
829,Third Sqd Ldr (Sgt S3),Third Platoon,Delta Troop (Lift Cavalry),Fifth Squadron (Lift Cavalry),4518th Lift Infantry Regiment

If you give me an ID# & email, I will send relevant details generated.

It might have something to do with the Piccies.

Found a glaring mistake within a few lines of start (duh!). It should now look inside .jar for required text. Please try again. .html not worked on. .jar file starts OK for me.

I will endeavor to make it work (& others I tinker with on GitHub)

Thanks
