What's the consensus on dependents using rank based reserved parking at exchanges/commissaries?

those spaces should be for the service members only, and i do mean active duty service members. Not even retirees should be able to use them.

If the parking lot is full -unless it says handicapped or fire then it’s fair game. I don’t pay attention to the rank on the spot.

No, they have no special prevledge, they are Civilians!

Agreed

This is absolutely true. I hope what I am about to say does not offend anyone on here. I used to like going to FRGs because I wanted to be around women that were going through the same situation as I when our husbands deployed. Now, I don't ever attend because wives with high ranking husbands uses those ranks against us. Tell me if I am wrong but I may have married my husband before he decided to join the military, but it doesn't mean that his rank goes for me. As for the parking, it's sad because sometimes wives of lower ranking soldiers park in the parking thst is not even reserved for them.

I hate spouses who uses their service members rank! Last time I checked I don't answer to spouses!

I agree. My car was towed because a COL wife used his rank. Long story! Hate it when spouse says “we” got promoted.

It's for the service member only. As should the expectant mother parking.

Spouse doesn’t wear the rank!

I agree that the right doesn't carry over to the spouses. I've seen spouses demand salutes because they had a blue sticker on which designates that it's an officers vehicle .....rediculous....
