Well, I am a civillian (I'm not military material, don't do well with authority figures - I'm more suited to joining Ben & Hoss's posses, or maybe being one of those CIA troublemakers around the world!), so my observations were just mostly from conjecture and extrapolation. What you say makes a lot of sense. It's probably not wise to enter into a romantic relationship with someone you are serving with.

To be fair, most of my romantic adventures weren't particularly wise, but they are tender memories just the same. So maybe I shouldn't talk! ;-)

"..romantic adventures weren't particularly wise.."
I hear that!
And I understand what you're saying as well.
Heck, there was this one briefing we had about sexual harrassment during our first week of Basic.
The Seargent giving the briefing looks at us and says, "Is it possible to sexually harrass a man?"
Mind you, there's this room full of 17 year olds.
They all look at each other and say, "Ummm... No?"
His answer was, "OF COURSE you can. It's sexual harrassment either way. Even if it's don't ask don't tell!"
We had some no-nonsense Seargents.
Of course, they geeked us immediately after the briefing.
(Which we should have known was coming. After the drug briefing we walked out to find a clown out in the breezeway with a baggie of 'stuff'.)

I probably shouldn't talk about relationships either.
I more often than not choose the really psychotic types, unfortunately.
