Future Naval Aviator
Hello everyone. I've done a search on here and can't find anything relating to this topic. I'm planning on enlisting in the marines for a year or two after graduating college next summer,before crossing over to be a officer . Besides wanting to experience life as an enlisted man, other factors come into play as well. I realise I'm going to be making a lot of enlisted friends and seeking advice on how to deal with the issue of fratenization when it comes up eventually. I know I'm at least two years from that but I don't think its ever too early to learn about anything. Especially on an issue that could ruin a future career if handled the wrong way. As most of the people in the forum are Naval officers in current service or retired, y'all are the best position to answer this question. If you are a mustang, you obviously made friends on the enlisted side of the house and non-priors I'm sure have some enlisted friends as well. As an officer, how do you deal with those friends so as not to run afoul of the UCMJ. When does an innocent get together with your old buddies,spouse,girl/boyfriend(who just happens to be enlisted) cross the line into fratenization?
