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

Yep...

....I just say a Facebook post about a military dependapotomous being thanked for her service because she took her husbands uniform and took a picture in it.

If that’s the case spots should active duty in uniform . They don’t it’s all upper echelon officers.

I completely agree. I my husband and I have been married for 12 years, 7 while he was in the Marines and never once did I use his rank for anything. He didnt take credit for my promotions at work why would I take credit for his rank?

Not cool. As a retired dependent, when he was active duty it NEVER crossed my mind to even attempt to use those spaces. I always had the understanding they were for active duty only, so they could in and out quickly. I likely would have said something to a spouse I saw parked there!

I'm a military spouse, enlisting soon to hopefully be the AD when my husband gets out. Currently at 29 palms MCAGCC the level of entitlement the vast majority of these wives has is astounding. I see it all day every day on base and off with wives wearing rank. I've had wives ask me what my husband does and what rank he is and literally tell me "oh sorry then I can't hang out with you..." My husband's an E5 tank mechanic (Marines)
Smh.

Agreed!

I never wore my husbands rank because i never served as him in the navy.

Agreed they didn't work 4 it

Depends sorry no rights. When you sign on the line, you can park there.
