Navy SEAL Challenge Coins

The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday

Navy SEALs live by the mantra, Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit! They are the incredible few capable of enduring the immense physical training and mental pressure that shapes the world's most dominant fighting force. SEALs are the sea, air, and land forces of the Naval Special Warfare Command. Daily life consists of physical training and conditioning and preparing for assigned special operations that take place in every corner of the world. 

SEAL operators are deployed in deserts, jungles, forests, and icy landscapes and must be prepared to survive and complete objectives with precision. Nature's most extreme conditions cannot stand in their way, and no one can stop them from reaching their goals. Navy SEAL challenge coins honor the physical prowess, professional excellence, and precision of each SEAL team. SEALs carry their coins with pride. They represent the years of struggle, pain, and training that shapes SEAL operators. Navy SEAL challenge coins are earned, never given.

Forging The World’s Preeminent Fighting Force

Custom Navy SEAL Challenge Coins Honoring Training And Commitment

Only the most physically capable applicants are even considered for SEAL training. The Naval Special Warfare Command suggests a 26-week training regimen for those hoping to participate in BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL). The preparation regiments and training regiments at BUD/S focus on endurance and strength of the entire body. Running, swimming, upper body, core, and lower body exercises are performed daily.

The three phases of BUD/S make up the most demanding and arduous training of any service branch in the United State Military, and the first phase is the hardest. Navy SEAL challenge coins are awarded to members of training that survive each phase. Custom designs incorporate the challenges and lessons of:

• Phase 1- eight weeks of physical conditioning
• Phase 2- eight weeks of diving instruction
• Phase 3- nine weeks of land warfare training   

The reason phase one is considered to be the most grueling section of SEAL training is because of the third week; Hell Week. Recruits endure 5 ½ days of cold and wet operational training with a total of 4 hours of sleep through the entire process. Physical endurance, mental strength, pain and cold tolerance, attitude, and teamwork are tested. Trainees are pushed to breaking point as they are evaluated on their ability to perform work under highly physical conditions, mental stress, and through sleep deprivation. 

Only 25% of SEAL candidates survive and continue training. It is an experience that most describe as the single greatest achievement of their lives. It proves to the future SEALs that their bodies and minds are capable of twenty-times more than what they had ever believed. In combat, SEALs remember Hell Week and know that there is nothing that they cannot accomplish. 

Navy SEAL challenge coins are carried as a reminder of the awe-inspiring achievements of SEAL candidates. Even once hell week is finished, Navy SEALs must complete a full year and a half of training with an additional year of training assigned to a team before they are deployed on their first mission. In that time, SEALs develop operational knowledge and technical skills in areas like:

• Combat medic training
• Sniper school
• Language training
• Parachuting jumpmaster qualification
• Dive supervisor qualification
• Personal defense
• Advanced marksmanship training
• Intelligence analysis
• Communications
• Military performance driving

Navy SEAL challenge coins are handcrafted to incorporate elements of these training areas. Training is an integral part of being a Navy SEAL. Through an entire career, a Navy SEAL constantly trains physically to maintain performance ability and continues to hone skills in a variety of specialty combat areas. SEALs remain adaptable and proficient through continuous dedication. Navy SEAL challenge coins are collected as SEALs earn new qualifications and hone their skill. Each is a mark of accomplishment and pride.
