Ew. My husband is a marine, and this is why we specifically avoid socializing with other military members. 

Anytime we’ve tried, they’ve always dragged us to an idiotically American themed chain restaurant, only to harass the staff about their veterans discount. One even caused a scene bc my husband refused to ask for his discount at a Longhorn Steakhouse. 

And dear Lord, the entitlement of the wives…

Yeah my mom was in the military my whole life. She’s reported several military wives for stolen valor when I was kid. Sometimes they cross that line and think they should get veteran services and just pretend they serve too. Super thankful for the maturity of you and your husband! Honestly I can remember the people I met like you growing up who didn’t flaunt their status and it was meaningful as a kid!
