Current Goal

Hello fellow cacher. My name is Chuck and I have been caching since May  2013. The geo-name I use is Diamondback 7, though I have been Lobo 7, Dagger 7, Diablo 7 and most recently Ninja 7. These are all callsigns from my twenty-five years in the Army, but I chose DB7 as it holds a special place in my heart. The Diamondbacks were D Troop 5th Squadron 14th Cavalry Regiment based out of Schofield Barracks Hawaii. As a First Sergeant I helped stand them up as a newly created organization, trained and prepared the men for combat.  The Diamondbacks deployed to Iraq and performed better than well. Unfortunately, they have been re-flagged as the 2-14, so I use my old callsign as an homage to these great men.  I am now retired, but caching gets me out doing land navigation, and patrolling.

Happy caching,

Plan to win, Prepare to win, Expect to win.

DB7 out

What a delightful time talking about our military experience. So different with me being a support person and you a front line troop, but both deeply devoted to our missions. My first Aerial Survey Team I arrived as a Second Lieutenant and the Senior Master Sergeant Meader told me that I would have a good career if I would just follow his lead for my first thirty days. Wow was that good advice. With great respect for your service and appreciation for your kindness, I look forward to our geocaching paths crossing often.

First and for most, Thank you for your service in helping to keep our country free! It was great meeting you and walking around all the rock exhibits to find the earthcache clues to get the code words to earn the Smithsonian trail coin! Thanks for all your help on the puzzles. Till we see you out on the trails again... keep caching, friend.
