Sure you might be all right with them. But then again you're not an 18 year old private. Think of all the stupid private things you've heard of and of course some of them make absolutely no sense whatsoever. But that's why they're privates. Sure with proper guidance fraternization can become a minor issue but you know just as well as I do that being in combat arms you also have a lot more responsibility heaped on your shoulders. The two supply clerks sneaking off behind the quad-cons to diddle each other is a different story than two people supposedly on guard who are now watching each others' "private sectors".
During OIF I during the initial push to Baghdad... despite over five weeks without a proper shower... there was hanky panky going on among some of the ranks in nearby camps that I caught wind of. Now honestly that turns my stomach as you can only imagine how that whole ordeal smelled after several weeks of baby wipe showers but it obviously didn't stop others.
If a female can meet the same standards as a male then I don't have much issue with it. It is going to be very difficult in both the short term and the long term though and I honestly don't see it having much success.
