The plan is to meet at the Pentagon in time to start the tour at 10:30 AM. The tour will take approximately one hour. Everyone must be at the designated Pentagon parking area or at the metro station NO LATER THAN 10:15 AM. No one can be late!!!
Wayne or I will be there to collect the metro riders. Jean will lead the parking people to the main entrance. There is no public parking anywhere at the Pentagon. We can only have parking for about ten cars and we would encourage car pooling. So we will have an idea of who might be driving and who will come by Metro, please indicate on the form below how you will be arriving or send me an email.
For Metro riders, the Pentagon Metro Station is served by the Yellow and Blue Lines. (Click on Metro Rail icon for map.) As you exit the metro station, turn right toward the Pentagon's South Parking Lot and look for us.
For drivers, click on the Road map icon for directions.
You can also park at the Pentagon City Mall. No shuttle service is provided to or from the Pentagon. The Pentagon is about a ten-minute walk from the mall and can be reached through a pedestrian tunnel. Once through the tunnel, head for the West end of the Pentagon's South Parking Lot.
Everyone will need to bring two (2) forms of Government issued ID, one with a photo. You cannot get into the Pentagon without the two IDs. A driver's license, passport, military ID, voter card, birth certificate, and Social Security card are all Government issued and should be acceptable.
No cameras, cell phones, backpacks, pen knives, or any other item which could be considered a hazard will be allowed. Ladies, you can lock your handbags in our van and just bring your IDs. The less we have, the faster we can get through Security.
The dress code is long pants, long sleeved tops and closed-toe, hard-sole shoes and is mandatory. You will be given hard hats at the job site.
