Relationships between an Officer and a Gentleman

Abstract

Even though the United States Army Policy was established to prevent fraternization and other relationships between the ranks, I think the Army policy on an officer and enlisted relationships are subhuman. This is because most engagements happen when not in uniform, so there is no way for one to know that the other is an enlistee or an officer. I think individual relations happens most on attractions not rank, grade or position. If a female officer goes to a specific culture club far from a military post, that she enjoys and have a few drinks with her closes friends on a Friday night and meets a male enlisted Soldier without knowledge. They laugh at each other jokes and have a good conversation on individuals that is in the club or sport events that are happening in the world today. A few hours go by and neither person brings up the fact that he or she is in the military. At the end of the night, they go out for breakfast and the two ends up at a friend's house.
