Do you mean like taking a woman married to someone else and pairing her with a man married to someone else? Or a married couple? I&#39;m just a little confused what you&#39;re asking.

Question is too vague. 2. It takes two to tango, and if they are serious about their marriage then it won&#39;t matter. 3. What kind of mission is run with only two damn folks. 4. There is such a thing as separate rooms.

My personal feeling is gender should have absolutely nothing to do with any kind of military assignment - particularly if the woman is armed and skilled in hand to hand combat.

Being professional in the job is the key. I think the command element, when selecting for the mission know their personnel and take all things into consideration. Other than that, I know of no set rule.

The only answer I have is people are going to be people. I&#39;ve personally been married 3 times, all servicemembers. Some people deserve your trust, some don&#39;t. I&#39;ve had &quot;work husbands&quot; who prevented people from bothering me. We didn&#39;t use the term though, as it implied an inappropriate relationship, which it wasn&#39;t.

Assignment to any mission should be based upon the individuals&#39; qualifications to accomplish the mission. As a Commanding Officer, while I would consider personal situations, accomplishing the mission takes precedence.

My opinion that&#39;s all it is. Clearly some have taken it to far but the policy is you follow orders. If a couple pairing up within a 24 hour period or the worry of it happening you are in the wrong relationship. I only started working with women a little later than most because of career fields. Not one that i enjoyed tthe first few. But women started in the different fields and it was a unknown of treatment. Mostly they were given solf jobs in the maintenance field which I never agreed with. Me i hardly ever cuss or use words that I souldn&#39;t say to my Mother but some get to carried away. Lets close this. Response by MSgt John McGowan made Jan 1 at 2018 8:53 AM 2018-01-01T08:53:56-05:00 2018-01-01T08:53:56-05:00 2017-12-29T13:05:50-05:00
