  1. Navy Fraternization Policy OC Santiago

  2. Official Policy • Personal relationships between officer and enlisted members that are unduly familiar and that do not respect the differences in rank and grade are prohibited, and violate the long-standing custom and tradition of the naval service. • Similar relationships that are unduly familiar between officers or between enlisted members of different rank or grade may also be prejudicial to good order and discipline or of a nature to bring discredit on the naval service and are prohibited.

  3. English? • Any relationship between Navy personnel that is uniquely familiar and that do not respect the difference in rank or grade is prohibited. • This includes personal relations that in any way takes away from the respect and courtesies granted by a persons rank.

  4. This Policy is Gender-Neutral • Its focus is on the detriment to good order and discipline resulting from the erosion of respect for authority inherent in an unduly familiar senior-subordinate relationship, not the sex of the members involved. • It is the difference in rank, not sex, that give and obey orders. The erosion of the respect between the ranks and grades inhibits the flow of commands.

  5. They’re not kidding.. • Service members who are married or otherwise related (father/son, etc.) to other service members, must maintain the requisite respect and decorum attending the official relationship while either is on duty or in uniform in public.

  6. General suggestions • The answer to 90% of life’s problems… common sense. • Always give the correct courtesies to those who’s rank calls for it (sir/ma’am, stand at attention, etc.) • Never use first names unless asked by a senior officer, and even then only for that time being. • Give respect, and demand it in return. • Consider positional authority. Your supervisor now may be your best friend in an hour.

  7. Personal pointers • If you find yourself wondering: “Is this relationship okay?” it probably is not. • If you find yourself specifically excluding people from a group activities, you are wrong. • If you feel a sense of camaraderie and loyalty to those both above and below you, then maintain the level of respect that got the team to that point.
