MAJ Ruths writes: "Ordnance Officer Basic Course Coin. The front of this coin shows the crest for the Ordnance Corps (look for the crossed cannons) and states 'GO ORDNANCE!' on the bottom. The reverse shows each version of the Ordnance bomb symbol used going back to the 1800's and Lieutenant rank. I designed this coin in 2000 when I attended the Ordnance Officer Basic Course and had about 200 of them made for some of our clases".
