Thanks, figured someone who reads this list may be connected there...
not like precision timekeeping is a huge community.

 I would ask USNO this question.

 I too would love the same oppertunity.

http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/tours-events/tour-information

CURRENT TOUR STATUS

We are currently not accepting any new requests for tour reservations 
due to the pending effects of the Federal sequestration beginning on or 
about March 1.  In the event of sequestration all tours beginning in 
April will be cancelled due to staff furloughs.


---
I note that JPL just cancelled/postponed its annual open house for the 
same reason.



If someone who works at USNO is willing to take you around, that's 
another matter, but bear in mind that visit requests often take several 
days (if not a week or more) to process for most government labs.
