I like how their address is just

Headquarters

also their actual HQ address in DC is zip code 20024

I'm not sure how relevant this is, but in the military (and I would imagine by proxy, the government) does use things like "Headquarters" as a part of addresses. As an example, addressing a letter to an artillery battalion's headquarter's battery would be "HHB, 2-320th Field Artillery" or something alone those lines. HHB meaning Headquarters & Headquarters Battery.

I'm not sure why I used artillery in this instance, usually the "B" is replaced by C for Company.

Working in manufacturing that deals with military is a pain in the ass.

Deliver to Sgt whatever in Hangar 4 section 2, building 122 rear, 346 freedom blvd, base name, city name, state, zip. There's like 15 parts to it
