Did you try actually going to it? It's the Washington Headquarters Services. They manage HR and personnel services for the Pentagon. I guess you could consider child care programs or managing blood drives sinister.

Be careful Joe...Black helicopters could be following you. You never know. I would keep an eye out.

By the way...They would tell you what it means but they would have to kill you afterwards...lol
