Designing the challenge coin for Navy Commander James P. Waters III was an exciting and meaningful project for our team. This coin became a symbol of the incredible dedication within the Navy Recruiting Command, capturing not only the commitment of Commander Waters but also the spirit of the entire recruiting mission. We felt it was essential to create a piece that went beyond aesthetics, using every design detail to reflect the role that Navy recruiting plays in shaping our military’s future.
Navy recruiting is all about finding passionate, talented individuals ready to serve their country with integrity and resilience. Recruiters have a unique role: they're not just enlisting new Sailors, but also helping shape the future of the Navy. Their mission is to identify individuals who embody the Navy's values and have the determination to tackle the challenges that come with serving. Each person who joins represents a new chapter of service and a stronger force, and it all starts with the critical work of Navy recruiting.
As recruiters search for the next wave of resilient and mission-ready individuals, their efforts are bolstered by the unwavering support of the Navy Recruiting Command. This dedicated team of professionals ensures that every recruit is not only ready to serve but also equipped to meet the Navy's demanding standards. Their mission is clear: attract and prepare candidates who are ready for the unique demands of naval service. This command doesn’t just focus on filling roles but aims to inspire recruits who are both mission-ready and resilient. Their vision to enhance readiness across all forces means they work strategically, ensuring that those they recruit are prepared to meet the Navy’s high standards.
At the heart of this mission lies a simple yet powerful principle: "Recruiters Recruiting Readiness." This motto is a core principle that drives every recruiter. It reminds each member of the recruiting team that every effort they put forth contributes directly to the Navy’s preparedness and success. By focusing on recruiting those who can keep the Navy mission-ready, recruiters play a pivotal role in sustaining a force that’s always prepared.
Guiding these efforts with expertise and passion is Commander James P. Waters III. His leadership within the Navy Recruiting Command exemplifies the dedication needed to attract, prepare, and inspire the next generation of Sailors. His experience, passion for service, and commitment to supporting recruiting efforts help guide his team in building a stronger Navy. Under his command, the Navy Recruiting Command continues to meet and exceed its goals, ensuring the Navy remains a top-notch fighting force and a place of opportunity for talented individuals.
While leadership sets the tone for recruiting success, traditions like adding signatures to challenge coins is a meaningful tradition that adds a personal touch, linking the recipient directly with their command or leadership. It’s a small but impactful detail that makes the coin feel like more than a keepsake; it becomes a personalized recognition of a job well done, a connection to the mission, and a reminder of the leadership who values their contributions.

Creating a challenge coin for Navy Commander James P. Waters III was a true privilege for our team. We aimed to capture his commitment to Navy recruiting and honor his leadership within the Navy Recruiting Command, crafting a coin that reflects both his dedication and the values that drive his mission. Every element on this coin was thoughtfully chosen to symbolize his pivotal role in shaping the Navy’s future and supporting the careers of countless Sailors who proudly serve our country.
The front of the coin showcases a stunning, high-definition image of a Navy ship and submarine cutting through the ocean, set against a vibrant backdrop. Above this scene, in bold yellow letters, the motto "Recruiters Recruiting Readiness" is emblazoned across the sky, emphasizing Commander Waters’ commitment to recruiting capable, mission-ready Sailors. Just below, his signature appears in the ocean itself, symbolizing the personal investment he has made in each new recruit and his ongoing dedication to the Navy’s growth and resilience.
On the reverse side, we used a distinctive underwater scope view image, displaying a Navy eagle in white with its wings spread wide as it holds a powerful anchor. Surrounded by an outer blue border inscribed with United States Navy at the top and Forged by the Sea at the bottom, the eagle reinforces the strength, tradition, and honor that define the Navy. This coin commemorates Commander Waters’ achievements and also serves as a reminder of the relentless drive that fuels the Navy Recruiting Command’s mission.
With the coin’s imagery, from the detailed Navy ship and submarine cutting through ocean waves to the majestic white eagle holding the anchor, our goal was to capture a sense of pride and readiness that resonates deeply with every Sailor. Adding the phrase “Recruiters Recruiting Readiness” in bold letters was our way of honoring the motto that drives recruiting efforts, and including Commander Waters’ signature provided a personal touch that emphasizes his hands-on leadership and dedication to the Navy’s mission.
This challenge coin, for us, is more of a testament to the hard work of everyone involved in recruiting, from Commander Waters to every recruiter who tirelessly seeks the best candidates. We hope it serves as a lasting reminder of their impact and the ongoing legacy of Navy recruiting, connecting each recipient with the strength and tradition of the Navy.
