Yes; at the hanger I work out of, the Sqn Exec's all have designated spots (MWO and CWOs, and Major's and above basically). We also maintain designated spots for the Wing Commander and Wing CWO.

Well, he probably drew on his experience with parking lot space allocation when he was, as a 2Lt, (according to his bio)
"July 1992 - December 1992, Officer in Charge of Tailgates at Falcon Stadium, US Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colo."
While he rightly took no action against the airman who left a vehicle in an unmarked space, I wonder if he had any words with the idiot who installed a sign at the spot when it was clearly evident that it was already occupied. Hopefully, it was not someone on his staff, like his Command Chief, who made such a dumb move.

That story has a nice feel good ending and the wing commander gets to look like a nice guy solving problems but blocking that car in in the first place was a dick move.

I once interpreted "General Officers" on a US base as "Officers in General"! We had a good chuckle...
I get that COs and WComd have assigned parking at their workplace (and not at every unit on the Wing... This is a waste), but anybody else, I disagree... Want a parking spot close to the door? Come in earlier than I do.

I can think of several, but they are in Ottawa -- parking in the NCR is a bit of a blood sport, and even CO's and GOFO's take the bus.
I do remember a Battalion CO that never took a car to work but nevertheless had a designated parking spot that was therefore never used. I guess having a CO's parking spot can be out of tradition as much as practicality,

In the Airborne Regiment, the CO's Secretary had a parking spot. She didn't drive, so I talked to her, then talked to the Adjt... I got a designated parking spot.
The guy I replaced saw the sign, and said "WTF?!!" I said that the CO obviously appreciated what I brought to the Regt. :stirpot:
