Can enlisted military members marry officers?

Answer 1

Only at the cost of their careers - any relationship of a personal nature is against regulations (related examples in regulations are dating, shared living accommodations, sexual relations, commercial solicitations, private business partnerships, gambling and borrowing money). The regulations are covered in both the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 134), Navy Regulations, and OPNAV Instructions (CNO Policy), which is the preferred guideline. It should be noted that it makes no difference if the members are from separate services.

Aside from long-standing tradition, it has always been found to be prejudicial to the rule of maintaining order and discipline, as it underrmines the military rank and authority structure. Having said that, the practice does occur in secret, and quite often couples will wait until one or the other has separated from the service to get married, at which point there's not much the military can do, unless it can (and wants to) prove that those involved were involved during their time in service together. The problem is that it's virtually impossible to keep such a secret while in the military, and the military does not look favorably on such relationships.

Marriage between 2 enlisted members or 2 officers is quite common, even between those of different services. My own wife and I were both sailors when we were married almost 33 years ago. There were few regulations concerning in-service married couples then, other than there were no guarantees about being stationed together. We were lucky; we only had to deal with 6 months being stationed apart before my wife was able to transfer to my homeport.
