Dropped my truck off at the Louisville, KY service center and had this gift waiting for me inside my truck. Super cool! Ryan, one of the service members there was awesome to work with and kept me updated almost every day. Great experience. (Pictured below is the front and back)

That’s pretty cool. I like the thought, but I kinda think the challenge coin should be kept to those within the military community. I feel like I’ve seen more and more non-military challenge coins out there that don’t really hold a lot of meaning. They look cool and I want one of these, lol, but just a weird choice. I do appreciate the military support though! This is the first mention of military anything that I’ve seen come from Rivian. Now….about that military discount on my R1S order…

Do they make a coin for the garbage man? I’ll argue that profession has more impact on the daily life of the average citizen than any of us in the military.
TRUTH!!! Where would we be without them. Swimming in our own filth. I feel a Bud Light Real Men of Genius commercial coming on.

Yeah, challenge coins are now *EVERYWHERE*. I work in Cyber Security, which does have a large military/ex-military population, but even among never-military groups, there are challenge coins for everything. And tons of people don’t even know how to properly “use” them.

It says "Belonging at Rivian," it could be veteran employees who got it made.

Jury is still out on OPs status! I'm holding out on thanking for service, lest we bestow stolen valor.

Thank you for your service. IMHO any and all recognition of our service members is great. I wish all businesses would sincerely do that. The 1% protect the 99%. It's time the 99% recognised that.
I always want to say thank you for your tax dollars when someone says this to me. I especially felt thankful for the support of US taxpayers as I wrote prescriptions and ordered diagnostic tests. I’m sure I spent a few million dollars of taxpayer money every year.

For military physicians, writing a prescription and ordering a test is writing a check drawn on US taxpayer accounts. MRI scans are a few thousands dollars each. Multiple sclerosis drugs cost about $80k per year for one patient at that time. I was thankful every day.

WOW!! I’m blown away by that.
I’ve got some fairly cool challenge coins and that would be near the top if I ever got one..

I got one from Chief Scientist of the Army, which I'm sure was a made up position at the time, and it's pretty neat.
