"When I was the Area Defense Counsel at another base, the first client I had was a major .who was a squadron commander who was having sexual relations with a staff sergeant in his direct chain of command," Christensen said. "He received an discharge, in lieu of We had a few mitigating factors and we were able to get that settled without a but it was headed to a general But he said that just because an officer and enlisted member get married, they won't necessarily escape punishment. The first thing we look at in an marriage is what circumstances led up to the marriage," Christensen said. "It's possible for an officer to be married to an enlisted member without it being fraternization. But if you were those ranks before you got married, it's hard to imagine how you do it without fraternization. There was never a legal prohibition against prosecuting people who got married, but it was more a matter of policy," he said. "Usually the Air Force did not prosecute so I think the belief was, 'if we get through the church doors before anybody finds out, we'll be okay.'" Christensen said. That's not the case anymore. Now they're specifically being told not to allow that." As of May 1, 1996, Air Force policy is very specific in these areas. Air Force Instruction states, "Officers will not engage in sexual relations with or date enlisted members."

Christensen said that there are two major problem areas of fraternization Air Force-wid"One area is young officers, fresh out of college who are still in that college mentality and still in that partying mood and picking the wrong people to party with," Christensen said. The other one involves senior officers who get involved in a sexual relationship with a subordinate because they are unhappy in their home life or whateve. er." "Junior officers may fall into the trap of allowing enlisted people to call them by their first name," Christensen said. "But we're not out to stop people from going to lunch from time to time. We're looking for things that have impact on the unit." Christensen said that typically, the people in the unit where the fraternization is taking place, are the ones who report the incidents. Where other unit members see it and are concerned, that's a strong clue that the relationship is unprofessional and therefore inappropriate. "But once in a while, you'll get the jilted lover who reports it," Christensen said. All members, and especially commanders and supervisors, should read and be familiar with AFI Professional and Unprofessional dated May 1, 1996.
