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

Only for the designated military member. Not designated and meant for the vehicle.

Funny thats my battalian commander in the picture lol

Agreed those spots are not for family members to use with out the ranking individual

As a veteran myself and later a dependent, I feel those spaces are for the military member only and while in uniform.

Any spouse who thinks they are better than another needs knocked down a peg or two. You’re still a civilian, you have zero rank, and zero pull. The most annoying thing to me was being around higher ranking wives like captains wives and masters wives and such and the way they look at you like you’re smaller and les important than they are. It makes me sick.

Service member only.

Not for spouses

I don’t think it should be allowed.

My father was a Major in the Army, did 27 years and at one point was the CO for one of the largest companies in the Middle East. Only when he was in uniform on duty would he park in the reserved spots at the PX or just outside of the base. His reasoning was because there might be a major who is on duty with a half an hour for chow who needs that spot, he is merely stopping for a can of dip of a pack of smokes.

I once heard a rumor that the only legally desinated parking spaces were for handicapped. Need to run that by a barrracks lawyer....
