Cadet dating rules

[Isabel22]

I'm currently at usafa prep and am starting my fourth quarter, and I'm confident that I want to continue and eventually graduate from usafa. However, I've been hearing rumors around the prep school about rules that cadets must follow when dating. I'm currently dating my boyfriend of two years who is a Private in the army. I've heard from some that we'll be told we have to break up, and I've heard from others that it'll be fine so long as it's documented in paperwork. Does anyone know how that will go down? We were dating before he even thought about enlisting and before I had received an appointment to the P.

The first step is always to research applicable regs yourself and avoid hearsay.

Then discuss with your chain of command.

You are at USAFA and a student at the prep school? You socialize around cadets all the time. Ask them. I wouldn't ask a bunch of old fuddy duddies about dating when all the answers are right there for you.

Hay! I resemble that remark!

We had a friend at the prep school who was not approved to date her high school boyfriend who was in his first year at the academy. Mainly because of the upperclassman possible taking advantage of rank, but the same could apply to an enlisted member of different branch.
