Is it hard to date while in the military?
Dating someone in the military is the same as dating a civilian. The problem comes as the relationship progress. It is extremely difficult to maintain a relationship with the frequent deployments. Sudden alerts and exercises.
What are the military rules on fraternization?
Two Step Test: In relationships between officers or between enlisted personnel fraternization requires an unduly familiar relationship and it must be prejudicial to good order and discipline or service discrediting (there is no presumption that it is prejudicial or service discrediting).
Why not to date someone in the military?
Here's the bottom line: You will be separated from the person you love at some point during their career in the military. If you need physical touch and constant communication so that you won't stray, you need to do some soul-searching. Being apart is hard, but it shouldn't be hard to stay committed.
Can a private date a sergeant?
It's fraternization and against military regulations, so forbidden. It would erode respect for the military hierarchy and imply favoritism. Huge no no and the sergeant would be in trouble. Can an army officer date an enlisted soldier?
