Geocache Description:

THIS IS A PUZZLE CACHE IN RECOGNITION OF SERVICE ABOVE AND BEYOND.

Greetings,

YOU have been selected to take part in a unique training opportunity. The Fraudulent Cache Investigation Unit (FCIU) is seeking qualified geocachers to participate in this exercise to promote and preserve positive experiences in Geocaching. The training academy is being opened at this time to take a giant step toward the defeat of the forces of MGL (Malicious Geocaching League) and their kind.

We are excited to announce the addition of several new members to the FCIU training team as they have just completed the successful and legendary “Mission Incachenator”. They will be joining the staff as honorary professors of caching and will be contributing their knowledge and experiences as a supplement to the existing training staff. Their input and field experiences are available on the FCIU shared data site (located at geocaching.com).

FCIU would like to introduce and recognize the following agents for their dedication to the FCIU goals: Recently promoted to the rank of SSA (Super Secret Agent), these new members of the training team are versatile beyond description, but have been selected to fill the following roles based on the expertise displayed in case reports and field activities:


SSA CALKIDS: Field operations
