This invitation would also be extended to a mess member's spouse, who is also in the military, but who belongs to another mess.

OBS

Dans ce contexte, tout comme c'est le cas pour le terme «dîner militaire mixte» et le terme «dîner régimentaire mixte», le mot «mixte» signifie que les conjoint(e)s ou autres invité(e)s du membre d'un mess sont convié(e)s à un dîner donné. Cette invitation serait également lancée au conjoint ou à la conjointe du membre du mess, qui est elle ou lui aussi un(e) militaire, mais qui est membre d'un autre mess.
