What's the consensus on dependents using rank based reserved parking at exchanges/commissaries? I believe these spots are supposed to be used by the member to rapidly get in/out of a store and get back to work, not as a RHIP reward. To me, it smacks of dependents "wearing" their sponsor's rank.

I agree it’s not for the spouse There are spaces reserved for spouses at the hospitals etc for expectant mothers or if they are volunteer of the year.etc,

LTC Patricia Giese I used to say that I should be able to park in the "Expectant Mother" spots because my troops always considered me an uncompromising mother and I had a real expectation of serviced when I entered the base hospital. (its a joke)

I think it's ridiculous ... if you yourself are not the one wearing the uniform , getting up at the crack of dawn for work everyday , then you should not park there .

Yeah, I agree with others. It is wrong for a spouse to park in a rank specific parking spot.

Rank-based reserved parking should only be used by those who actually wear the rank. I used to get low ranking officers’ wives coming through the base gates expecting us low ranking gate guards to salute the blue sticker...lol

I’m a spouse and I would NEVER use any of these reserved parking spots. It’s not my rank. Regardless of my husband’s rank, I’m a civilian and I did not earn any rank, whatsoever! I’m even disableded, but I can walk my dependent ass 5 parking spots over to get to the entrance. I think it’s disrespectful.

This is normally a benefit of the high ranking Officer or high ranking Enlisted Officer...it is not and shoukd not be transferable to thier spouse.
