Geocache Description:

HOOAH! Join Platoon 1088 in protecting the cache!


Your mission (if you choose to accept it) is to go into DC to check on the cache. Platoon 1088 is in deep cover. You must find the Platoon Leader to log the cache.

The Platoon's base is located just 2-3 blocks walk from the Friendship Heights Metro on the DC side. There is street parking but please obey all street signs and do not block any driveways (you may get a ticket). 

WARNING: This is a high muggle area. A few neighbors know about this mission but you must still try to be stealthy. Please keep your feet on the median (you will understand when you get there). Please do not remove any duct tape. Keep alert and stay safe! Night caching is not recommended.

A log roller and extractor is highly recommended for this mission. There is no room for trade items. BYOP.

Please note that there have been several digital logs specifying it was found but that they didn't find or sign the paper log. We do check this cache fairly often and it is most likely there and NOT missing. You must find the platoon leader carrying the cache container and sign the paper log in order to claim as a find. If a cacher digitally logs a find but does not sign the paper log, we will message them for clarification and if proof is not sent, we will delete the digital log. We hope you accept and accomplish this mission...

 

Basic Facts: A platoon is a military unit typically composed of more than two squads. Platoon organization varies depending on the country and the branch, but typically a platoon consists of around 15 to 30 soldiers.

Congrats to Aranyl for accomplishing the mission and being FTF!!!
