Subject: I will not comment about Frank as to my beliefs on what, if anything should happen to Frank, but I'll ask your question about conduct/charges...
In reply to: Jennifer 's message, "Let me ask you this....what, if anything, should happen to Frank because he's conducted his affair with someone in his unit, while on duty in Iraq? Can he be charged, or is that just a myth? I believe they are of the same rank, so not sure if fraternization applies. I just don't want anything to happen to Jeremy, as much as I hate Frank I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy, i.e. getting caught by your son & then having something happen to your son, the guilt would be pretty heavy IMHO." on 13:26:57 11/04/08 Tue

We've been out for a number of years so something may have changed, but I think it is basically still the same.

If Frank and Jordanna are of the same level (officers) and not in the same direct chain of command, which given that she has a different rate (job) than Frank that is likely to be the case there is no issue with them being involved from that standpoint. In civilain terms, you might sleep with your friend's secretary, but if you have no control over her assignments or reviews for raise or promotion it may not be a good idea, but - depending on company policy -may not be grounds for disciplinary action.

However, there is a law against adultery in the miltary. It is often not prosecuted, but it is in the book.

Why he probably would not be charged or the charges dismissed without punishment?

Here is the answer:

Frank is separated. He has a witness to that effect, the chaplain that he and Denise saw when she said she wanted a separation. Given that, and the fact he's in a war zone (no double standard here, it would be the case if it were a female officer in Frank's place)they most likely would dismiss any charges, even if they were filed in the first place.

I know that doesn't give you my opinion, but I hope it answers your question in regards to what if any charges could be filed.

I did take it a step further and tried to explain why the charges in Frank's case, in particular, it probably would not happen in the real military, but I have no idea what the writers have in store for him.
