If given the opportunity, would you serve in the White House or in Washington, DC and have a chance at earning the Presidential Service Badge? Have you already earned that badge? If so, what was that duty like?

Regardless of who is in office I would love the opportunity to serve on the Coms staff and work on the official website.

Day maybe, weekend maybe...?
Might get new boots to play in if I got enough money. Or go to get pizza we'll see, but again graciously and completely appreciate the down vote too.. Its not often a mans ego gets blasted but when you did it slowed me down to see my words were off color but my meaning was dead on.just couldn't understand it without rereading it. Thanks for the shark attack PV2 Lisa Wilcox

No. I would serve in the white house because it would be an honor to do so, the badge to me is irrelevant.

Not for the badge, but to top load all of the toilets and catch farts in the cups. Yeah, I am that guy.

I would love to. I love history therefore I would see this as an opportunity of a life time (working in the White House) and becoming a part of that history on a daily basis would be excellent.

It would totally depend on who the President was. I could not serve with a President I had no respect for.
I once turned down the opportunity to be the Executive Officer for an Army four-star because I did not respect the man. I loved my position as XO for an Army three-star and would not have minded doing it again for a four-star, but I had no respect for the man and respectfully declined the opportunity.

Earned PSB serving HMX-1 "Marine One" from '90 - '93 under Bush Sr. and Clinton. I find it interesting how many talk politics regarding duty. Politics have nothing to do with the responsibility you are entrusted with. Either you are able to conduct yourself as a professional and perform the duties entrusted to you or your are not. If serving the current CIC is a problem, get out because you are already serving the current CIC.
Frankly, working with the White House is so hectic there is little time to "think" about the politics. I was proud of my service and regard my PSB as a crowning achievement. I would encourage anyone who has the opportunity, to see what it is like to work in high profile day in and day out. It is tiresome to be maintain "image" all the time.
Still I have many Great and Awesome stories from my time there, which can be gleaned for the small price of a beverage.

No, regardless of who was in office. I could not put up with the amount of spit-and-polish that would require, and doubtless a lot of arrogant, high-strung people running around trying to prove how important they are. Give me down-to-Earth fellow troops in a relevant, working base any day.

I'd be honored to work a post like that. And it wouldn't matter to me who the C in C was at the time. However, I don't think I'd be doing it because I wanted to add to the pins on my Class A uniform.
