IOA making the selection.
Now the rest of my comments are speculation because I have no access to some of the spoilers that the rest of you may have.
I think Jack is still in the military although Sam is not in his direct chain of command. I don't know if they are married but whether or not I don't think they are keeping their relationship a secret. I imagine they go out in public and certainly at military events as a couple. Why hide their relationship if they are not breaking the regs?
Sam and Jack are very private and have a small group of close, personal friends. Teal'c, Daniel, Cassie and others will know they are together. Rodney's not a close friend so no wonder he wouldn't know.
Besides if this were a secret, why would she have a picture of herself and Jack in her new Atlantis office? Puh-leese, if not obvious to anyone who enters her office because they don't know her personal life story, we Shippers know that Sam and Jack Fishing is code for RELATIONSHIP!
If there is any HIDING about Sam's and Jack's relationship, it is on the part of TPTB not choosing to directly reveal this aspect of Sam's life...yet.

about the fishing picture in her office is...aside from us, who know what it is and what it symbolizes..and of course, Sam herself...would anyone else coming into her office, glancing at it...and maybe even picking it up to examine it...recognize that as Jack sitting on the dock? In civvies and his hat, he's a little anonymous, to the casual viewer. And even if he isn't, the picture is there amidst others of SG1 (sans cam and vala 
), Cassie and her dad, so no one would really question a picture of herself and another team member, even if they did recognize it as Jack. So I think Sam could get away with displaying it without raising any questions from people as to why it is there.
The reason I make that point is, although they may not be actively hiding it, I still think they're low-keying their relationship. Rodney may be self-centered enough and remote enough in the Pegasus galaxy that news like that may have gone past him unnoticed, but I still think, anything that came his way about Sam, he would have picked up on. And he was still being his drooling self last season in The Pegasus Project, so much so that Cam had to threaten him. So I still don't think, IMHO, that they've outted their relationship to the general public. The fact that Trio was supposed to be our "not so subtle hint" shared in the midst of some character bonding with Dr. Keller, makes me even more suspect that Sam is still keeping her relationship rather secret. If the CMO of Atlantis, who's supposed to know pretty much everything about the people in her care, isn't aware of it after that amount of time, then chances are good it's been kept off the radar. (That's assuming, of course, that it the Trio scene was meant to be a reveal to Keller as well; I suppose it just as easily could have been something like Keller saying: "So, how does your husband feel about you being on the front line in the battle against the Wraith and the Replicators?". But I guess we won't know until we see it...*sigh* in the deleted scenes...

)Ramble ramble ramble. I doubt if this is coherent. I've been interrupted 3 times trying to write it and it probably makes no sense.
