NEW: The Navy Sailor of the Year Presentation Coin: The SOY program recognizes the very best all-around Navy sailor in paygrades E-1 through E-6. Sustained superior performance, leadership, self-improvement, command and community involvement, self-expression, military bearing, and appearance are all key facets of the best all-around Sailors. The Sailor of the Year is selected by a selection board that interviews each Sailor of the Quarter Recipient and selects the best sailor for the year. This year's Sailor of the Quarter coin is now a 2 inch dual plate gold silver. The size and shiny gold and silver apprearance sets it aprart and allows it to stand out from the Sailor of the Quarter coins. We are now taking advance orders and the next available ship date for this coin will be October 21, 2026.
