"Talking"? Hardly worth a response. Now, if there's more to the story, give us the scuttlebutt (and if you don't know "scuttlebutt", you aren't just "talking")

PVT Private RallyPoint Member Your profile lists you as an E1, so are you talking about two other people? What is the whole story?

That isn't frat. Frat only occurs when someone has authority or power to affect your career or standing or promotions or awards etc.

you are in the army, you are a paid professional and future leader of soldiers, stay that way and " don't dip your pen in company ink" as well as other companies and services.

As long as the person is not in your chain of command you should be ok. Of course this is my understanding of the regs from 5 years ago and things may have changed.

This is a very grey area that can suddenly turn to black & white, career ending~dependent on circumstances & status of individuals. The general criteria seemed to hinge on ~"if the senior person could influence the promotion of the junior person & also their status, no extramarital situations, tolerated." That was just after Vietnam era, in the 1970s.
