Geocache Description:


Cache is not at posted coordinates. The caches in this series all contain questions related to the history of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets. All the information needed to answer the questions in this 21-cache series can be found by going to the corps Guidon.

Six of the Medal of Honor caches (seven total) all contain hints to help you find a 21st cache. You need to complete those first before going after the final one in the series. All containers in the series, except for the final, are small homemade bisons constructed out of PVC with soda bottle tops. They are painted in such a way as to be VT appropriate.

Best of luck! Contact cacheNquilt or myself directly with questions. Take care, and best of luck!

All cadets are required to learn how to appropriately enter and exit another cadet’s or officer’s room/office.  A system of counted “knocks” is used so that the cadet or officer being visited knows who is attempting to enter the room and is prepared to greet the visitor correctly. 

“2” knocks indicate official regimental business and are usually reserved for procedures involving the cadet Honor Court or Executive Court, involving the VTCC Honor Code and violations of cadet/university regulations, respectively.  All cadets are expected to stand at the position of attention facing the door.

“3” knocks are used by freshmen when attempting to enter a senior’s room, or by any cadet that is “reporting in” to a senior.

“4” knocks are used by an upperclassmen that is attempting to enter a freshman’s room.
