It is possible, but subject to needs of service. Furthermore, a security clearance may be required to ensure suitability for work (i.e. reliability and trustworthiness to drive high-ranking officials).

Another idea is to try out for Old Guard because 88M is an audition qualifying MOS

There are a few nominative assignments that you must compete and be selected for. You will need CSM mentorship at a minimum. See what is one ASK and call your branch manager. There is more than just the Pentagon. You have Ft Belvior, the Department of the Army's HHC and Garrison. Ft AP Hill. Be careful what you ask for, you might get it. I knew an 88M who was the SMA's driver.

Outside of the White House transportation Agency there are not a lot of slots in DC or the surrounding places like Belvoir. You have a better chance of getting a slot in Belgium
