Any other E9 wives here? DH is advancing to Master Chief around August/September. I was wondering, being that he'll be the top enlisted at his new command, if any of you had a change in what was expected from E8 to E9 - in the wife aspect?

I feel a bit silly asking this question because I am a veteran as well as have been married for nigh on 10 years to DH, but I know that there is a certain distinction afforded an E9. This is not in anyway taking away from the honor of him being an E8/Senior Chief, but does the social setting change? Will there be more events to attend than before? Do any of you feel more of being under a microscope? Scrutinized because of your husband's rank?
