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.
Officer Candidate (E-6): After 3 years on active duty, I left the service to attend college. Within a few months, I had joined a Military Police Platoon within the 32nd Infantry Brigade in the Wisconsin Army Reserve National Guard. My Platoon Leader also served as a TAC Officer at the Wisconsin Military Academy (WMA) at Volk Field. Within 7 months, he had convinced me to attend Officer Candidate School at WMA to become an Officer. I spent 14 months assigned to WMA as a Candidate but being paid as an E-6.
Congratulations to Lobsters9494 on the FTF on this Cache Ba$hless weekend!
