Pentagon
If you had the opportunity, would you apply for/accept an assignment in the Pentagon?

With the Army opening more assignments to align with the Broadening Opportunity Program, you may have additional career-enhancing assignments within our Nation's Capitol (or just across the river from).

Although there were people from Security Service assigned to NSA at the Pentagon, I was not. I'm not sure I was fortunate or unfortunate. I'm sure I would have enjoyed the assignment, but not a fan of DC.

As an Intelligence Professional, my focus is on providing the best intelligence support to our MFE personnel. At the pentagon I would be removed from that and focused on some sort of policy or intelligence program of record. I have no desire to become a GO so I will do my best to avoid the pentagon and focus on becoming a G2/J2.

I accepted a job here at the Pentagon about a year ago. It has been a pretty good experience for me. You get to see the Army in a different light!

I was assigned to Ft. Myer, VA for four years, so I know what the DC area is like. Plenty of pros and cons to the area (traffic being the biggest con) but I defiantly would have accepted an assignment to the Pentagon if it had been offered.

I asked if there was any possibility of getting in there before I left Korea. I'd love to get some of that action.

I'd go in a heartbeat, though I suspect my MOS would be fairly useless there...

I would not request it, but if I were to be selected for it I would be happy to serve in that capacity.

Currently work in DC, not a fan of traffic. I moved to the country for a reason

The Pentagon for me was one of the most challenging yet educational assignments for me -- good luck with your decision.
