MILITARY SERIES – After spending 20 years in the military and retiring in 2000 as a First Sergeant from the Wisconsin Army Reserve National Guard, I decided to create this series and dedicate it to all of the men and women that served before me, with me, after me, serve today and those who will serve in future generations.
Each of the caches in this series is named after a unit, position, rank or other significant event during my military career.
While some of these may be an easy find, others may require some creative and critical thinking. Look at the rating for each cache as they will vary within the series.
Sergeant First Class (SFC)(E-7): In the early to mid 1990’s I left the Military Police Corps moving over to Military Intell for a few years. When the Platoon Sergeant from the Military Police Platoon left the service, it created an opportunity to get promoted to Sergeant First Class and to go back to the MP’s where I truly belonged. The challenge is that the Guard was doing the interviews on a weekend when I was on vacation in Ohio. They allowed for me to do my interview over the phone. I thought this would be great as I would not have the pressure of them looking me over and nitpicking on my Class A uniform. Boy was I wrong, this was the hardest interview of my life! Bottom line, I got the job and was promoted to Sergeant First Class, E-7.
Congratulations on the tri-FTF - sounds like a party! Once again, congratulations to Lacknothing, Lobsters9494 and kalkranz on the tri-FTF on this Cache Ba$hless weekend!
