Public Display of Affection (PDA) ~ The rules & the loopholes

I've never seen the extended hug re-enforced.. And as time goes on, guys become a little more lax - if I drop Tim off at work, he'll give me a quick kiss as he leaves, and he ALWAYS gives the girls kisses. However, he did NOT do this until he'd been in for probably 3 years. We do link arms, and what's funny is that I find that we link arms a good chunk of the time outside of uniform as well now. (I think we're just so used to it).

The other thing not listed on here - it's not really a PDA, but it does kind of follow the same lines. A uniformed service member may NOT pick up a walking aged child. (they usually enforce this after the child is older, and not at toddling stages). S/he can, however, hold a young child's hand with their left hand.
