Is an officer allowed to date an officer candidate (OC) even if they both are in the same platoon? (The officer being the platoon leader). What should be done if the officer puts in awards for the OC for things he/she did not do?

I wasn’t able to find regulations on this.

Pretty sure that falls under fraternization and it's a no-go.

I suggest reading through the Federal OCS handbook for clarification: http://www.benning.army.mil/infantry/199th/ocs/content/pdf/OCSOP.pdf

Generally speaking, romantic relationships formed during Officer Candidate School is frowned upon. Candidate-Candidate relationships and Candidate-Cadre relationships are explicitly forbidden. Anything else that falls outside of fraternization would still be ill-advised. OCS is only a limited amount of time; love can wait.

A quite and simple conversation..

Sir, you can fix this, or I can.......Do the right thing because its the right thing to do, or I will follow that same idea and this will get fixed in spite of you, not because of.
