Reflections of Life

Okay.  Apparently you found the hidden link.  So, you have cheated your way to the solution.

Here is what you are looking for:

Basic-looking rock drilled through on one end attached to a prescription bottle via fishing line.  The bottle is not waterproofed.  But, the log is encased in a ziplock bag.

Pill bottle will be covered in camoflage tape for concealability.  The rock itself has the following engravings:
   

Being that I have almost completely given away the cache, let me just give you the coordinates again for you to find the cache:
N39 57.958 W85 59.837

The following are the coordinates for the various stages:
    First: Stumbling Block (GCPYEM)
    Second: N39 57.940 W85 59.831
    Third (If you choose the wrong choice): N39 57.951 W85 59.795

The cache is located close to another cache (by more than 0.1 mile) that is owned by me.

The route to get to the cache is to first find Stumbling Block.  The coordinates listed in the puzzle are in UTM format.  Once that is determined, it will have to be converted to WGS84 (which most people use).  Once converted, there might be sudden realization (and possible confusion) that the coordinates are the same as Stumbling Block (log a separate cache in the process of finding this one).  The engravings on Stumbling Block will lead to Stage 2 (as shown above).  At stage 2, as previously stated, you will decide on where to go based on a decision from the Stage 2 information.

But, that is not all.  There is still the code to decrypt.  The information given in text of the Geocaching.com page reveals many numbers that can be the key.  The main thing to look at is the squadron number that I was in while at the Air Force Academy.  That is the key.  The even bigger key is how that number plays into the code printed.  First off, each row is the exact same set of coordinates.  The only difference is that each row was altered from the original using a different arithmetic method.  Once you figure out one and confirm it with another, you have figured out the code.  Here's what I mean:

[This is where the coordinate solution will go]
