If given the chance, would you serve in the White House to earn the Presidential Service Badge?

I'd rather the President take a ride in one of our planes; I don't want to work in DC if I can avoid it.
I already have one , earned at NAV SUP FAC Thirmont , aka. Camp David
1974-77

Nope. I am from Northern Virginia. I am enjoying my time away and will retire somewhere else. I only come up for the Army Ten Miler and to visit my parents.
If told that is where I will work, I will do my best and spend the weekends at the Smithsonian with the family.

In a heartbeat! Not just for the badge but being selected to serve and perform at that level would be a huge honor and a great accomplishment! To be able to work with/for the POTUS in those capacities I feel would cement the purpose of serving further knowing that what you are doing is directly supporting decisions at the highest level for your comrades and for the American people I couldn't think of anything better.
The down side would be the traffic and cost of living in DC but the experience would be priceless!

Absolutely. I would be honored. Not necessarily for the Badge, but just to be able so do something different.

I could see how it could be very rewarding and would jump at the opportunity to serve on White House duty. I don't need a medal for it.
I think the networking opportunities would be amazing.

I think that I would, regardless of my opinion on who is sitting behind the desk. I think it would be a really cool assignment.

I have served in DC, and aside from the history of the area, I can't say I cared much for it. After the first six months the "new" wore off and then it was just a quagmire of politics and egos. No, I have no desire to return to the insanity regardless of the position.
