Hey SAEmark,
Look me up in Fort Polk. I already know where a few caches are down there.
See you there.
-
Its still cold in Alaska
-
My caches have already been adopted by my good friend Jerrod (Defender1) who happens to be a Afganistan veteran.
-
Pekin is still a town and the same pool is still there
. -
To answer some of the questions posted... I was born and raised in Pekin Illinois just across the river from Peoria. I joined the Army because my Father and my Grandfather both served in the Army, I felt I had to join because of them both. I will be the third of my family to retire from the military. I have two other cousins who are First Sergeants in the Army and Air Force.
My hiking stick was found in Kentucky about 13 years ago. I found it in the woods when I worked at the Ranger RIP program. A vine had grown around the tree and caused it to spiral in shape. A good friend of mine carved the lizards and turtles on it. I have taken that hiking stick all over the place with me. I will be taking it to Iraq.
Ray and Rose I met you at a cache briefly during the Gig Harbor event earlier this year. I picked up a few of your wooden tokens. I still want to do a trade with you for one of you new metal geo coins.
And as for the WWII war stories, I can hear the stories a hundred times from the same Vet and never get bored hearing them. I had a WWII Army Medal of Honor holder who lived across the street from me in DuPont, WA. His name is Wilburn Ross. Look up his MOH award on the internet.

I plan on flying home for two weeks to see my two sons and family before I leave. I will tell them all when I go to Illinois.

I'm a active duty Cavalry Scout E8/1SG for one of the SBCT's (Stryker Brigade Combat Team). My parents have experienced for over 18 years nowing that one day I would call them and tell them that I am leaving for a tour in Iraq, etc. Now my turn has come to inform them of what I am doing. I have told my brothers that I am going to Iraq and they are OK with it and in the same instance worried for me. I called my best friend and she started crying... Because of her crying makes me wonder what my mom will do.
I am in charge of 82 of Americas finest young men (all Cav Scouts by the way) along with my Commander and five young LT's. Some of the Soldiers in my Troop where my trainees when I was a Drill Sergeant at Fort Knox, KY. I've been telling my Soldier's to call their family members back home and let them know that they are leaving.
I am aware of caches in Iraq. I plan on putting a few out while I am there.

Hello,
I was wanting to know of any geocachers who are Vietnam/Desert Storm/Operation Iraqi Freedom war verterans and how they went about telling their families that they are going off to war.
I'm getting ready to tell my familiy (Parents, brothers, and sister) that I am leaving for Iraq. Any advice would help.
I'm fine with my deployment... I'm just concerned for how my family will react.
See you all on the high ground.

And just knowing that he found one of my caches lets me sleep better at night.
-
My coins are in. I will be sending a few coins out for trades I made last month. Look for them in caches soon.
-
Just to let you all know that I slept on the hood of my Hummer last night under the stars in the New Mexico desert
. Heard some coyotes howling 
. Sounded cool. The weather here is beautiful... -
Hey Ladybug,
I will be back from NM in a few days. I want to know if I can help with the design for the Alaska Geocoin. Put me down for at least 10 coins.
Thanks!
-
I'm coming back to AK in a few days from NM. Is it getting warm there yet?
-
You can always use the company I odered my coins from.Less than one month turn around.
-
The cost for 100 coins with shipping and the silver finish, added colors, etc cost me about 400 dollars. Had I went with one color and a regular finish the cost would of been much lower.
-
Coins are almost done...
-
Cool! A trade sounds good.
-
I started with a order of 50 coins, then once I saw that I was well within my budget for how much I wanted to spend I increased the number to 100 coins. I figure that will last me for some time. The coins will be traded metal for metal, preferably for other personal geocoins. I will put the rest of the coins in caches that are "not easy to get to"
. I will not place them in caches that I can park next to 
... For every 100 caches I do (give or take a few) I will drop a coin in the cache. Washington state will be the first place for a Cav Scout coin to show up in a cache. Just have to keep on the watchout for one. Always open for a good trade! -
I suggest putting a can of WHOOP A** in your cache.
-
Sure I can send you a coin Defender1. You just have to come up to the top of the hill first
. I promise to keep the secret safe! -
All corrections have been made on the coin. The "wonder" has been changed to "wander". Thanks for pointing that out
. -
Click on my profile and you can see a picture of my new coins.
Anyone wanna do some trading?
-
I have a new coin coming in the middle of March 2005. I would like to know what you all think of the design. The first two have been promised to a cacher already, one to keep and one to place in Washington.
I'm always open for a trade for a personal metal geocoin or something similar.

I'm going to think about this for for a while since there is not much interest on this subject.

You Commander got scared and found a easy way of getting out from deployment... I'm not saying anything more about that subject.
