BTW it will totally fit in in Washington. The attention will be positive; he's earned that too.

But maybe it's her event and not about him.

OK, fair point.  And yes, I'm a civilian.  And if this wasn't a military question, but a civilian husband's choice between this and that, I'd totally agree with "her event, she chooses."  
But I'd have a tough time telling an officer he can't wear a formal uniform to a formal event, when it's an accepted thing to do both in the military and in the culture of Washington.  Then again, I'm not married to one.

While there's some merit to the "her event, it's not about him" view, I think he also has a point in questioning how she feels about him, his service, and his career, and whether she wants those in her life to know about it.  I suppose every couple's different, but they need to work this out between them and it's a bigger question than one Christmas party.

I also suppose I could just butt out, but OP asked.  My $0.02.
