I worked in what was the Defense Communications Agency as my first real job after college. Most of that time was spent working in the basement of the Pentagon. I lasted five years, before I had to leave. It was a long time ago, but I think it was one of the most formative periods of my career, and gave me a jumping off point to greater things. And I met some of my best lifelong friends there. Of all the things I might have changed about my career, that period is probably the one I would change the least about.
