Should it matter that an NCO and a Officer wants to date or get married to one another? What if their not in the same Chain of Command and have no daily duty interaction. Separate Battalions or even separate BDE's? Does it truly matter?

I have never seen the problem as long as both parties are mature enough to separate home life from work. There are people dating/ married in the same shop among enlisted and it's basically the same principle. i know the difference- I'm just saying.

I have seen it once. It isn't an issue if they aren't in the same COC and if they are geographically separated, it would be even better.

The fact that officers and enlisted soldiers are not allowed to marry while both are on active duty is utterly ridiculous. What is the difference if they are allowed to enlist together or separately as a couple or being married while on active duty? The bottom line is this, the relationship between an officer and an enlisted soldier still exist. The military needs to butt out of people's relationship. I remember being a young SGT in March 2000 when couples were rushing to get married to meet the military's suspense.

Not in the Army it isn't. It happens but it's against current regulations for fraternization.

I dont see a problem with it. I have known several such couple. As long as its outside the chain and they are professional in dealing with it. especially reserve components where most of their lives is spend outside the military.

I believe they should be able to date or marry...big military should not be allowed to tell you who you can and cannot be allowed to date/marry as long as it's professional when at work.

Why not, everything else has changed. I think we should be able to grow facial hair and have ponytails if we want also. Sad what the military has become.

As long as they can avoid the appearance of an unprofessional relationship... IMO, it should be treated no differently than any other relationship involving different ranks.

I don't think it should matter as long as they're not in the same battalion
