Actually, my office was 3D575. And I spent quite a bit of time in the basement coordinating actions with my counterdrug colleagues in the joint staff. They had their office in the basement. The Army Ops center was also in the basement and I attened the Balcony Brief for the CSA every morning (with probably 50 of my military/civilian colleagues) every day of the first Gulf War.
I did the Army coordination for 45 joint actions for the 5 country counter-drug program in 1990. My purple handbook got a good work out that year. Every counterdrug team that went required 2 actions -- one warning, and one actual dispatch.

By the time I worked in the Pentagon, we never had any Secretaries or even Administrative Assistants. They had all been eliminated. We all did our own actions and carried them around. Now they are all done electronically.

You are certainly dating yourself Alahusker. You probably referred to the secretaries as "the girl" didn't you? Times have changed. I was a GS-14 desk officer when I worked in the Pentagon.
