I've only been in one unit when I was in the Army where there were both men and women -- G3 at 2ID HQ. Flirting is constant, but usually innocent. After hours is different, but most troops were professional enough not to do something too stupid -- no one wants to be forced into a marriage and have more of a conscience than to just abandon their kids. Yes, there were plenty of romances -- I had one of my own -- but abject stupidity or lack of common sense isn't as common as you might think. It might be the unit involved -- you don't end up at division HQ by chance, you're selected, and you can't apply for it. But in my experience, everyone isn't constantly screwing everyone (except maybe career-wise sometimes).
