KR, Thanks!
M03, You are absolutely correct. There are many military members of all ranks whose dependent spouses (don't forget sometimes the wife is the active-duty member) are overqualified for the available positions on an installation.
When I recounted my experience, I used the term officers' wives because that's who I lived amongst and knew on a personal basis. Although the boundaries are blurred a bit, the junior enlisted, the NCOs, the warrants, the company-grade officers, and the field-grade officers don't really associate with eachother on a social basis except at formal functions. The Army units to which my H has been assigned have been relatively strict in this regard.

I took a job for which I was overqualified because I really wanted to have a job right when I finished grad school. BIG MISTAKE. Huge!
