If memory serves, commissaries always required IDs and PXs/Navy Exchanges usually didn't.
I buy military-grade shoe polish at the Navy Exchange inside the Washington Navy Yard and they never ask for ID. Then again, you can't get into the Navy Yard during normal business hours without lots of ID in the first place. So maybe they just figure if you're in the Navy Exchange, you must be OK.
I can't imagine a high-ranking officer's wife pulling that crap. She's got to know she's risking hubby's career. Once you make colonel, any furhter promotion depends on luck as much as anything else. It's up or out and since they're looking for reasons to cull the herd, a PITA spouse is as good a reason as any.
