(as a side note, are you referring to the Col. Russell Williams case, where the guy is also charged with multiple counts of murder and rape? Cus I'd be thinking that would be the bigger problem and it's got nothing to do with infidelity at all...just sayin')Last edited by xxxevilgrinxxx; 08 June 2010, 03:31 PM.

Originally posted by Avenger View PostYes, but Young was still the top of the chain of command at Icarus. The medical officer would be reporting directly to Young. TJ was still under his direct chain of command. This kind of relationship is definitely against regs, but it happens. No one is infallible.
Originally posted by brotymo View PostMy ex-husband was a staff sergeant deploying to Afghanistan. While training up at Camp Shelby, he met a Private 20 yrs his junior (20 years old) and carried on an affair. I found out, his commander found out, and while his commander was very displeased, but there wasn't much they were willing to do other than counseling him. He left me for her after 13 years of marriage and 3 kids and married her. He was never reprimanded. So yes, it isn't supposed to go on, but it does, and often nothing is done about it. The military has more pressing matters.My Life Motto: There are no wrong roads in life just paths that lead to unexpected Adventures.

Originally posted by Cory Holmes View PostSee, I'm convinced that TJ and Young are a direct subversion and deconstruction of Jack'n'Sam from SG-1. Think about it for a second: older colonel, younger and blond junior officer under his command, affair, sparks, etc. And now they're showing all the ways that such a relationship would never work out.

According to the rules of every branch of the service, romantic and/or sexual relationships between junior and senior officers in the same command are strictly forbidden. It tends to work against the strict caste system the military works by, *and* there's simply too much opportunity for abusing rank for sexual favors ("I'll get you a better job if you let me hit that").
Doing so is a court martial offence, generally with both people getting thrown out of the service. There's also the possibility of jail time if there's any evidence of coercion.
In fact, if an officer has an affair - even with someone not in the service - that can get 'em thrown out. Officers are held to a higher code of conduct than the enlisted are. Honor still counts somewhat in the military. Adultery is inherently dishonorable, and so it *can* be a major offence, though in actual fact they tend to mostly overlook it unless it's particularly heinous or whatever. Scott and James' relationship probably wouldn't be something that would go before the courts, but it would CERTAINLY be reprimanded if it got out.
Though it's obviously not a sexual or romantic relationship, it's worth noting that Greer and Scott's friendship (Which is one of the things I like best about the show) is a bit overly familiar.
That said, as someone pointed out, this is a TV show and a mostly-Canadian one at that; not a textbook on military conduct. <G>
Here, check this out http://usmilitary.about.com/od/justi...ation.-ukn.htm
and http://usmilitary.about.com/od/punit.../a/mcm1342.htm
That goes into a bit of detail about the rules.

I remember this thread. Still funny.~ When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take back the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN! ~
