In a heartbeat. I already had the opportunity to work in the nations capital and really enjoyed it and would look forward to another assignment there.

There's no such thing as a bad assignment, only people without the perspectives necessary to make them worthwhile. Even Hell might be a cool place to serve Iced Tea.

I'm on a restricted tour now and am looking for an assignment with a Feb-Apr 2015 report date. While my family is asking for Europe or Hawaii, they support wherever the Army sends us. Lately, I've felt like I'm ready for the challenge of working at HQDA or some other agency in the DC area. I think my skill set would be well suited for that environment.

I worked there for a year and I loved it. The traffic sucked, but everything else about the job was excellent. Ultimately as I get closer to the end of my career I would love to get assigned in the NCR again. There are a ton of job opportunities for Retired leaders there. If anyone has any questions about working in the NCR, feel free to contact me.

SFC McKenzie, I've considered the location but household 6 is holding out for Europe or Hawaii. I did get her to acquiesce to having the NCR as a viable 3rd option...the way things are looking right now for OCONUS assignments, I might be calling you in the next 60 days!

DIA in DC was a great assignment. I lived in a new townhome on base I had more time to spend with my family due to making my own hours at work. Not to mention the many places you can go around the area and explore.

Spent about 5 years (2002-2007) in the DC area. No regrets and a great assignment to take the family all over the DC area. Much to see and experience. Lived in Columbia, MD and commuted to Arlington (Crystal City). I was two Metro stops away from the Pentagon. For convenience, I used the Pentagon's dental and medical facilities and my family used Fort Meade.
The hours and pace in the DC were pretty fast paced and "street smarts" was definitely a skill set required for making the Metro commute. Got more sleep and relaxation during my assignments to AFG (2006, and more recently 2011-2014).

I've been thinking about this for a while. As a Multimedia Illustrator it would be a great opportunity to work in the Army Graphics Section in the Pentagon.

Not sure if I could handle the traffic. But I feel that it would be a great broadening assignment. Not that I'd be offered a job in DC, I'm pretty sure they have no use for a construction equipment operator.

After Drill Sergeant Duty all I was offered was Korea. I did not shy away from deployment or assignments but it was not the right time for me an my family at the time; the opportunity presented itself here in DC working at WhiteHouse Communications Agency I can honestly say it has being worth it. Learning the joint environment and working this side of the isle has being eye opening.

In a heart beat. My friend just got chosen to be stationed there as an MP, some type of security job that switches between all the services every few years, now its the army's turn.

I'd love that opportunity. And I'm curious to see if they'll make the assignments and qualifications visible as well.
