Have the rules changed between enlisted and officers dating ? My grandson and his girlfriend are about to join and she wants to be a Nurse, he wants to be an EMT. Now nurses are officers right ? And EMT's are an enlisted job. They expect to marry while in and I don't think that would be allowed.

They can get married, but they can’t date while she’s an officer. But if she’s going to be a nurse she won’t be an officer for several years. Unless she’s going to be an LPN which is an enlisted job

So if they join the military, she is an officer and he is enlisted, well they would have to “date” before getting married. Yes that would NOT be allowed. That would be fraternization. This may help Department of the Army Pamphlet 600–35 Relationships Between Soldiers of Different Ranks.

Yes, nurses are officers in all Services. Grandson and GF can marry, but they can't date while they are both on active duty. Some commands might look the other way, but it's not worth the hassle if either of their commanders object. They might consider getting married before entering the Service.
