How many zip codes has the US Postal Service assigned to the Pentagon?
The United States Postal Service has established six ZIP Codes for The Pentagon, to which the place name “Washington, D.C.” is assigned, even though The Pentagon is actually located in Virginia. The Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the four service branches each have their own designated ZIP Code.

More useless government regulations. I see no earthly reason for all those zip codes . How does that make delivery easier??

Just in case the workers are mailing letters to each other?

I would have taken 5 if offered, one for each side of the Pentagon. So I added one for the Secretary of Defense and chose 6. I guess my basis was a little off.

ZIPcode stands for Zone Improvement Plan Code. Don't be a drip. Use your zip.

If you offered a higher number I probably would have chosen that one.

Yes it makes perfect sense to me. I got it right.
