Show Your PHS Pride

 

In an effort to help you show your PHS pride and foster esprit de corps among our officers, JOAG now offers PHS merchandise from the Commissioned Officers Foundation (COF).  In addition to showing your PHS pride, proceeds go to COF for officer professional development activities.

PHS Challenge Coins

 

There are currently two PHS Challenge Coins available  through COF: the JOAG Medallion and the PHS Core Values Coin.  These two coins are not only meant to foster esprit de corps and boost morale, but they are also meant to serve as daily reminders about what it means to be a Commissioned Corps officer.

 

History

 

Challenge coins are a longstanding Uniformed Service tradition.  Historically, these coins were given out as a member joined an organization.  The “challenge” occurs when the individual is asked to produce the coin at a moments notice, meaning the coin is always carried as a reminder of the principles symbolized by the coin.  Over the years they have become deeply routed in Uniformed Service culture and have been issued to improve morale as well as reward for a job well done.  

 

General Merchandise

 

Each year JOAG’s Development Committee comes up with new merchandise to help you show your PHS pride and foster esprit de corps among our officers.  Currently there are challenge coins, t-shirts, coin racks, PHS stickers, and fleece blankets for sale. Please see full merchandise list on the right.

 

**T-shirts are sold-out and will be available in Spring 2012** 

Ordering

 

Coins and merchandise are available by mail order.  Please download and follow the instructions on the order form.  Checks and/or Money Orders are accepted and should be made out to the Commissioned Officers Foundation (COF).  Proceeds from these merchandises will benefit the COF Junior Officer Scholarship Fund supporting officer development for the future.  Questions about Merchandise or shipping/pick up should be directed to the JOAG Financial Liaison*.
