The freebie:

What to do:

1) Determine how to post embedded LiveLeak videos in posts here at FouledAnchor.org (Hint: mouseover the "liveleak" button right above the smilies)

2) Visit http://www.LiveLeak.com and find a video with the following characteristics:
US Navy ordnance firing of some sort (Missile Launch, CIWS, 5" 54, .50 Cal off the fantail, etc) or some other cool Navy video. If one of our fellow Chiefs is involved, even better!

3) Embed the video into a post here at FouledAnchor.org.

The first one to do it will get a free coin pictured above. (Special thanks to Alex (ChiefinGuam) for making a deal with me on the coins).

We have a WINNAH!!!

Man, you guys are QUICK! lol

So, Cliff (Sandman) gets a coin... Cliff, I think I still have your address around here somewhere.

Gene (gedOSCret) is the Runner-up - so close, but just 4 minutes behind Cliff on getting a video posted. For his efforts, and since he was so close, I'm going to go ahead and send Gene a coin as well.

I can't see the videos here at work due to firewall restrictions... I'll check back in to see what you guys posted later this evening.

You can post YouTube videos this exact same way using the youtube tag! So stop by and post a video to give us something to laugh at or get mad about or whatever suits you!

Thanks for posting, guys!

I've been accused of being quick before, but never in a good way...

Hey Rick,

It's been a while since I have been looged in. Just saw the challange sorry I missed it but I wouldn't have been that fast anyway. Anyway, is it possible to purchase this fine coin?? I would love to get one and put it in my shadow box. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hey Rob. Nice to see you. Welcome back! :friends:

I don't have very many of these coins and I want to save them for contest freebies/giveaways. However, since you've been one of the most active members of the board up to this point, I have no problem sending you a coin. Thanks for your support of the forum!

Can you PM your mailing address to me again?
