  • The mile-long public tour of the Pentagon is impressive, and so is the training that the tour guides go through. CBS News' Kylie Atwood reports.

    When I worked in Arlington, VA, I had an employee who had been a Pentagon tour guide. He told us a story about how one day he was heading towards the personnel office on his own business. Suddenly, he looked up and didn't know where he was in the building. Nothing looked familiar. So he turned backwards, walked a few steps and then he knew exactly where he was and was able to continue on to where he was going. He just wasn't used to seeing things facing forward!

      Ha what a neat story I guess walking backwards does give a different perspective.. I'm from NZ biggest building I've been on a tour group with was the beehive in Wellington, that building is amazing.. it sits on weight stabilizers as like anti earthquake measures.

    when i went there for my tour the 2 tour guides i had were so nice and they added humor (in a mature way) to there tour. omg, it literally msde we want to join the military. there is 5 starbucks there and when i heard that i cryed. probally one on each side lol. he said the arrows on the floor lead to the closest starbucks and if you look really closley you can see the starbuck logo. i totally fell for it only to see it leads to the closest exit which makes way more sense. they yell when they talk but there smile makes up for it. i wish i could remember there names but they were shouting them and they were long titles. makes me want to go on another tour. and i feel bad bc i never said thank you for there service :(

    The Roman soldiers dress code on the battle field is the correct battle field dress code for every soldier I care about. Chess armor, back armor, hard hat that covers the back of the neck & shield that blocks swords & bullets yet light weight & easily manuverable. The Germans during war war II were smart enough to use hard hats first, even though it didn't cover the back of the neck, it gave them an advantage untill the alliance caught on.

    "One of only 4 female guides" "They do 7 tours a day"
    How many guides do they have to do 49 tours a week that 4 is considered "only"
    Like assuming they work 5 days a week like a normal job and that they did literally one tour a day, that means that 20 of the 49 tours are done by women, so it'd be five or six men and 4 women but assuming they do two tour each a day, as I'd kinda expect they would given the extensive training, then that means there'd only be room for like one or two men lol
