1999 also marks the start of the Airman’s Coin ceremony, where Airmen would receive a challenge coin the day before BMT graduation. The original coin featured an eagle clawing out of the coins surface with the words “Aerospace Power” beneath it. Circling the eagle was the phrase, "awarded on the occasion of becoming an Airman in the world's best Air Force.” On the reverse side of the coin was the Hap Arnold star flanked by a pair of wings. Circling the Hap Arnold star are the Air Force core values: Integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do.
