Re: Can't cite you regs, don't know them and I have been out for a number of years now. Isaac Send a noteboard - 16/03/2010 12:33:33 AM
But I do know that I was not required, nor anyone in my unit who got married, to report it beforehand or ask the commander's permission. Several guys got married and showed up to fill out the paperwork after the fact. A lot has changed since Vietnam Era, for instance, did you know that now it is illegal for American Soldiers to hire prostitutes even if it is legal in the country they are in? That changed just a few years ago.



Yeah, I was stationed in Germany when the 'NoHo' was put in place, really screwed up some of the guy's social lives :P ... not that it enforced really, like the tattoo rule or DADT, command basically sticks it's fingers in its ears while staring straight at the sky going 'la la la la I can't hear you la la la'

I can't find the reg covering permission or one contradicting that isn't ancient, but some googling turns up a lot of people saying it is and a lot of people saying in ain't in force anymore, so I wouldn't be surprised if its gone, anyway, it's not like soldiers who got spontaneously married after BCT or on leave used to get dumped off at charlie's chicken farm, I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble over it... with the commander, ranting by NCOs at stupid privates getting married to their High School Sweetheart while on leave from Germany was common enough, whether they talked to the commander first or not. Let's assume for now it isn't required anymore though, as mentioned a lot of cops are ex-mil and might predate the change or like me and a lot of others been unaware of it, if they thought that rule was still in effect, can't really jump them for reporting it, realistically I can't see why the cops would be expected not to include 'married' on any report or brief they might give, I mean it's usually considered basic and non-private info like hair or eye color. There could have been spite involved, but we don't really know and I'm not sure it matters.

you're assuming the military are treated like actual citizens. - 14/03/2010 06:50:14 PM 558 Views
Basically. *NM* - 14/03/2010 06:54:14 PM 301 Views
really? I was really hoping someone would point out how wrong I was. *NM* - 14/03/2010 07:01:45 PM 316 Views
It's not as bad as it sounds *NM* - 14/03/2010 11:13:05 PM 285 Views
Agreed. It's restrictive at times, but usually fair. *NM* - 15/03/2010 12:30:13 AM 282 Views
Yep, definitely harsh, but also fair *NM* - 15/03/2010 12:54:34 AM 278 Views

actually, I think it is as bad as it sounds. - 15/03/2010 02:14:21 AM 507 Views
Because if you treated soldiers like civilians, they wouldn't be very effective. *NM* - 15/03/2010 02:49:19 AM 282 Views
