Children of enlisted personnel often believe that children of officers receive specialized treatment because non-officers are afraid to upset the officers.[44] The physical separation and differences between available activities make it very difficult.[45] Most military brats on a personal level do not let this affect their social interactions, and in most cases it is frowned upon to treat others by their parent's pay grade or rank.

The separation by rank has the intended purpose of maintaining military discipline among service members. According to the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice, it can be illegal for an officer to fraternize with an enlisted person because it would erode the military hierarchy. This is often conveyed to the children of military personnel. Two brats whose parents have a subordinate-supervisory relationship can cause problems for both their parents.[46]

I never saw this happen with the kids - including our church and I was the youth director at one church in Germany- we had many officers, NCO's as well as enlisted.
