The White House. The White House has “Commissioned Officers”. The highest rank are Assistant to the President. These are jobs like Chief of Economic Affairs, Legislative Affairs, Political Director, etc. Top Rank. 1)
Next come the Deputy Assistants to the President. These are your Majors and Colonels. (Generals are Assistant to the President in last tweet). My boss way back in the Day was a Deputy Assistant to the President. (And she was cool)
Last are the Special Assistants to the President. These are the First Lieutenants and Captains. About 80-100. Lowest rank officers. All or nearly all have offices in the Old Executive Office Building. Most have little to no contact with the POTUS. Some exceptions.
Most of us-myself included-who claim to have worked in the White House actually spent most of our time in the OEOB. The White House Complex includes OEOB, The West Wing, The East Wing and the Residence.
It’s one complex with secure perimeter. What kind of badge you had determined access. If you had a blue badge you were all access (except Residence) and I had one of those. If you had an orange badge you were OEOB and new OEOB only. Majority of staff fell into this category.
