    This is kind of backward but related to at least U.S. Navy tradition. i would keep it personally, like my military script from FFXI. though i might see if i could trade it to a NPC Chief or any NCO or enlisted NPC who salutes you.

    Tradition is that all new officers are given or must acquire a silver dollar. You give the silver dollar to the first person who salutes you after receiving your commission. My ROTC MCPO had quite a collection of them, being as he was CMC for our NTC.

    Please forgive me. Reserve Officer Training Corps, Master Chief Petty Officer, Command Master Chief, Naval Training Center, HospitalMan Chief Master.

    and a Command Master Chief is the head Non-Commissioned Officer of a particular ship or station.
    the CMC, having trained you to be an officer, would be at your commissioning and would often be the first person to salute you, as you would now outrank him.
