@GohModley Well we all know what you problem is; you're just STUPID. If biracial people want to get married, that's their business. Why would you even care about that seeing how it has nothing to do with you? Keep silent and watch the video or get lost; I hope you choose the latter
@pegasus619Q There are many loop holes to the rule. As a MIDN, with the exception of those at Service Academy's, you're considered a civilian until the day you Commission. Therefore, if you marry an enlisted before you commission is not against the UCMJ.. Surprisingly, there are ALOT of enlisted/officer marriages..
@Darthvader710 LEARN TO SPELL OPINION before you make a spectacular fool of yourself! Black American ghetto life takes it's toll, I'm sure! You wrote opion.....hahaha
@ILIGANO The Vietnam War veterans are more mistreated than the veterans of any other war. You guys had no idea what you were going to be dealing with over there, and you guys took it in stride, bit back, and walked home, heads held high. I congratulate you. You have more balls than any other generation. I have no shame in saying I wouldn't have made it in Vietnam. You deserve nothing but the utmost respect. Hooah, Oorah, Hoorah, and Hooyah, sir.
Thanks to everyone, I was kidding about being treated like enlisted trash, I am so loved... But I'm always reminded that I'm the lowest ranking person in the family! My son has left the Army now... and is a high school history teacher. My wife still has her Nursing License but long ago retired, and is a volunteer with the local elementary school.
They never said why they commissioned him early. Perhaps it was outstanding academics. More likely it was because they next school he was due to go to started a week before he graduated and his academics supported the early commissioning. They probably brought her in early because he wouldn't get to graduate with his class. Claiming that he got the early commission for "reverse racism" when you don't know the details is the next best thing to libel.
I am happy for the young man. But commissioning him early and bringing his wife on board, reflects great corrupiton of the Miliary promotion system. Promotions in all four branches are by year group and date. If his date of promotion is advanced even a day early, he supersedes hundreds of other naval officers whose promotion must wait for the first of the following month. Is this reverse racism? politics? Only congress has the right to alter a pomotion list...fact, US Army retired.
@giannivee1 In addition, to add to this officer's credibility, it may be legit in that the day of commissioning can be done prior to the first day paid as an officer, In that my commissioning happned in July, but my first day for pay was about 28 August of the same year. So maybe it is all legit, it just struck me as very funny, that so much was done to bring things together. Maybe I am just a litle put off when I served in the Army nothing broke a rule or regulation, or you got it.
@ILIGANO Thanks for your service too sir. I had spent three tours as enlisted before i graduated from College and had to wait for the day of my active duty and the sequence number on each individual promotion i ever earned. Up until the day of my commissioning i was working nights as a security guard and living on GI Bill. I can't help but wonder what went on. Maybe this promotion was all legit, for the young sailor i hope so, but it looks very suspect and too cozy.
The male reporter said, "I wanted to see her hug or kiss him or something." I can tell he has never been in uniform. He did not know that Public Display of Affection is taboo between uniformed servicemembers especially if there's an official function. If the spouse is a civilian then that is an exception.
@buttlord123 probably mostly good conduct medals. she might have been deployed before so possibly an iraq or afghanistan service medal too. there are plenty of medals that you earn over time just by being a decent soldier. serving in certain countries also gives you a medal, whether peace or war. the most distinguished ones, however, can only be received in combat and generally you must put yourself at some risk - if not total risk. neither of them had those types, by looking at the ribbons
@buttlord123 (L-R) Navy and Marine Achievement medal, Good conduct medal, National Defense service medal, Global war on terrorism expeditionary medal and Global war on terrorism service medal.
Thanks, what I was trying to say was in a house with two officers, I am the low man on the list... just all in good fun. But back in the 1960's an officer with an enlisted person was a big crime, I am happy to see this officer and his pretty enlisted wife in the open.
it kind of still is a big deal. they can only do this because she was already in the Navy and he wasn't. I can almost guarentee that they will never be in the same command and maybe not even stationed on the same base
He was an officer candidate at an university with an NROTC unit so he was already in the navy at the pay rate of E-5. If he was a midshipman, his uniform before he was commissioned whould not have had the big star on the shoulder board.
I am sorry that you get treated like trash..you served our country and shouldn't be treated that way at all..Your love story is so wonderful..Thanks for serving,sir.
Sorry dude, I didn't see a question mark. I thought it was another smart remark on such a sensitive blog. I just got commissioned, and i went through the same situation, Some individuals who didn't understand started to innapropiately comment on our relationship of enlisted and officer, but a critical stop was put to that after a brief educational training.
A military commission is a written proclamation by the President of the United States that bestows upon the person title and powers as "an officer and a gentlemen" (or lady as the case may be). Special laws apply to officers as well as special military regulations. And military regulations forbid officers and enlisted from having sexual or off-duty casual relations with one another... except in special cases such as prior marriages, engagements, family relatives, etc.
Well......I dunno. I'm an ex Air Force Officer, when I was in I knew several officers that ended up marrying enlisted women. Maybe the AF is more lenient in that regard. I was in the Army before that and there was NOOOOO fraternization between officers and enlisted, period. (That was 40 years ago, maybe things are different now)
Not so much. It is NOT fraternization because they have a previous relationship (i.e. married while they were both enlisted). Notice the Black shoulderboards with a star he is wearing at the beginning. This is for officer candidates (sailors who are enlisted going through Navy ROTC or at the Naval Academy). This means he is prior enlisted.
He didnt look very happy at all.
