I found this "Infantry Drill Medal", Service Schools, US Naval Training Station, San Diego California. Back side reads "Presented to-------For Excellence in Military Drill. Can anyone tell me how old is this Medal? I couldn't find any info. Also, how old is the Burger King Kash token? Thanks for any help.

A very nice find, virginia. I can't find a match off hand, but here are a few pics and some history of the Natval Training Station in San Diego. If you can post a larger, more detailed pic of the uniforms on your medal, we should be able to get a better fix on the date.

>>> The U. S. Naval Training Station (NTS) was proposed in 1916 by William Kettner of the Eleventh Congressional District in California and member of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce. He gained the support of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of Navy when he visited San Diego in 1914 and 1915, and a temporary base was established in Balboa Park during 1917. During World War I, the Navy established a War Dispensary in the Park with tents to care for the sick, and this became the Naval Hospital in 1919. The City of San Diego granted 142 acres of tideland and the Chamber of Commerce granted 135 acres to create a Naval Training Center on San Diego Bay in 1919. Construction began in 1921 and the U.S. Naval Training Station, San Diego, was officially commissioned June 1, 1923. (see pictures)<<<
