    The worst I came across was my Chief Tech's wife. She wouldn't talk to myself or the wife because I was only a Cpl. I got my third and suddenly it all changed. 
    I have to say that's unusual.  Chf Tech's wives (of which I was one) normally have more common sense! 

    Mind you, the fact that I was a wife with 3 chevrons in her own right did cause a bit of muttering among some of the other wives, seemingly because they had added up our total salaries, but most didn't bother at all.  
    Luckily we didn't socialise with them much apart from section functions. In the mess we had our own set of friends
