As a military officer, have you ever caught your soldiers doing something inappropriate?

Yes, as a commanding officer I once caught a 1st Lt dating an E4 (Sergeant) both within my command. I had to counsel the Lt and explain to her that this was unacceptable. The funny thing is you could marry an enlisted member, but you could not date them. They both requested ten days leave and knew what they planed on doing and by rights I should have denied their leave, but I did not. This is where as a commander you have to bend the rules in order to do what is right for members of your command. When they returned, they were Husband and Wife. And this led to another issue; he could not report to his wife. So, I had to reassign him to another branch within the squadron. My Commanding officer was upset with me for allowing them the opportunity to get married. However, it was my opinion that these two were in love and if I had not allowed them the leave they would have gotten in trouble for fraternization and that might have ruined the officer’s career, she was an Air Force Academy Graduate. This is an example of me being prior enlisted and understanding their situation. Although my commander did not appreciate my decision he nonetheless supported it in the end.
