| Captain Hampton’s Challenge Coin Captain Hampton will begin issuing challenge coins starting July 2006 to qualifying members of The Hampton’s Battery F. The first criteria to receive this honor you must first be a full member in good standing and have been active in the unit for at least one year. Secondly, military members who have demonstrated their dedication and proficiency to the First Sergeant and the Commander will be entitled to be recognized and a recipient of the coin from Captain Hampton. Thirdly, civilian members must be active and full members who have demonstrated their faithful resolve by serving the soldier of Hampton’s Battery F over a one-year period. Fourthly, individuals not of Hampton's Battery F that have provided exceptional service and are nominated by a majority vote of the membership may be recognized and receive a coin from Captain Hampton. All recipients of the Hampton’s Battery F challenge coin are bound by the following rules of ownership: All recipients must maintain the Hampton’s Battery coin in their possession at any and all meetings of the Battery. Any recipient may (with no notice) request other recipients to produce the Hampton’s Battery coin by a physical coin challenge (provided the challenger produces his or her Hampton’s Battery coin as a precursor). If said challenge is not met with a physical demonstration of the recipient’s coin, the disgraced recipient will honor all in the surrounding locality (defines as within 30 rods) with a libation of his or her choosing. * Muddy pond water not included By orders of Captain, Greg Hampton |
