FORT SILL, Okla. — A military spouse stationed in Oklahoma has risen to fame after she began designing and selling this fall’s hottest dependent fashion trend — military rank accessories.

“I was always told by my second husband that spouses shouldn’t wear their husband’s ranks,” said Gina Caslen, spouse of Lt. Col. Johnny Caslen. “But I needed a way to let the other members of the Spouse Club know that I am better than they are, so I bought these silver oak leafs at the clothing sales store and they matched my necklace perfectly while not too heavy on my ears.”

Daniel Wise, manager of the Post Exchange, was astonished when he saw the amount of patrons flocking to Caslen’s sales booth in the entry way of the store.
