Loyalty Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

outlaw169: I've moved to another town, and I haven't been able to get around to replacing this cache in a long time. Time to open the area up for new caches.

Geocache Description:

Loyalty: Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, and other soldiers.

The Army’s "building blocks" are its units – the companies, battalions, brigades, groups, divisions, and corps – that are stationed here and abroad. Each unit in the Army today has its own unique history, customs, and traditions.

Also a keen sense of pride and esprit, that both motivates its members and brings them together as one – TEAMWORK – which in the military leads to unit cohesion. As old soldiers are quick to remind us, "The history of war shows that cohesive units are tougher and survive better in combat."

In addition to spirit and morale, really good units are commonly known to reflect a strong sense of LOYALTY as well. A recent Chief of Staff of the Army, GENERAL JOHN A. WICKHAM, JR., has said that: "Trust is the cornerstone of loyalty. If our subordinates, comrades, and superiors trust us, loyalty follows easily."

Loyalty, yes. But loyalty to what, or to whom?

The Army defines Loyalty as (Quote): "The correct ordering of our obligations and commitments: the Constitution, Army, unit, family/friends, self."

This is the first in a series of "Army Values" caches that I will be placing in the near future. These are not going to be easy to get to, and they're ALL "cache at your own risk"

I don't want anyone to get hurt here, so make sure you know what you are doing before you commit yourself to something dangerous! If you can't do it safely, then don't do it! Happy hunting! Oh, and look for something odd. It may come in useful later. (wink)
