Soldier dating air cadet, legal?

[Ruffles250]

I'm 18, and an NCM in the PRes, I've been seeing this girl that's 17 and in air cadets. We're not doing anything too serious right now, but is there any rules prohibiting us having a relationship in the CSD?

There are related rules against compromising your integrity, judgement, authority.

The Military recognizes the heart wants what the heart wants.  It only asks that you maintain your professional conduct.

Bullshit.  She's a civilian over the age of consent. You're a part time soldier over the age of consent.  As long as there are no PDAs with either of you in uniform, you're fine.

Good on you to ask the question Ruffles250.

I would stay away when she's actually participating in a cadet activity.

There are items in CATOs that would proscribe contact during an activity.  I have found nothing that would stipulate you can't see her other than that.

What he said... there are a few very famous Generals who didn't have the maturity to ask that questions and/or follow advice and suffered he consequences.

As long you and the Cadet are not part of the same Cadet unit. You are not able to help at the cadet unit will you are dating her.
