As stated in AR 600-20
c. Certain types of personal relationships between officers and enlisted personnel are prohibited. Prohibited relationships
include—
(1) Ongoing business relationships between officers and enlisted personnel. This prohibition does not apply to landlord/tenant relationships or to one-time transactions such as the sale of an automobile or house, but does apply to borrowing or lending money, commercial solicitation, and any other type of on-going financial or business relationship. Business relationships which exist at the time this policy becomes effective, and that were authorized under previously existing rules and regulations, are exempt until March 1, 2000. In the case of Army National Guard or United States Army Reserve personnel, this prohibition does not apply to relationships that exist due to their civilian occupation oremployment.
(2) Dating, shared living accommodations other than those directed by operational requirements, and intimate or sexual relationships between officers and enlisted personnel. This prohibition does not apply to—
(a) Marriages. When evidence of fraternization between an officer and enlisted member prior to their marriage exists, their marriage does not preclude appropriate command action based on the prior fraternization. Commanders have a wide range of responses available including counseling, reprimand, order to cease, reassignment, administrative action or adverse action. Commanders must carefully consider all of the facts and circumstances in reaching a
disposition that is appropriate. Generally, the commander should take the minimum action necessary to ensure that the needs of good order and discipline are satisfied.
(b) Situations in which a relationship that complies with this policy would move into non-compliance due to a change in status of one of the members (for instance, a case where two enlisted members are dating and one is subsequently commissioned or selected as a warrant officer). In relationships where one of the enlisted members has entered into a program intended to result in a change in their status from enlisted to officer, the couple must terminate the relationship permanently or marry within either one year of the actual start date of the program, before the change in status occurs, or within one year of the publication date of this regulation, whichever occurs later.
Edit -
Quick interjection. For everyone saying "no".
Don't give any advice. You obviously have not read the regulation and are simply giving your opinion rather than fact.
If you want to enlist in the service, you will have to marry your boyfriend before June of 2007. This is one year after publication of this regulation. After that, you both are in violation and may be subject to UCMJ.

No, BUT.....you need to let your CO and his CO and everyone in between the two of you and the CO's know what the deal is. Like you better be able to prove with pictures or something that you have been together since high school. Without doing this, you will be put through living hell and each chain of command will give you instructions on proper behavior that they agree with that will not distrupt the commands. Because if you don't do this and anyone knows he's an officer and you're enlisted you will be sent to talk to the big guys and could be brought up on charges for fraternization. Don't assume just because you two know that anyone else will just go along with things if they see you in public or at a command event.

Rules on fraternization changed a few years ago. You no longer have to be in the same unit or chain of command for a relationship to be considered fraternization. He could get in trouble. Marry him before you enlist and then your relationship will be exempted.
Believe it or not but even reservists are subjected to the new fraternization regulations. One of my (reserve) squadmates had to push up her wedding so that she would be married before the new rules took effect.

Only if you continue to date him after you enlist. Once you enlist, you CANNOT date him. If he is caught dating you, he will be in trouble up to his hips and it may very well cost him his career. You'll get off with a slap on the wrist, but he'll suffer BIG TIME.

no. you can prove a pre existing relationship. However, you cannot ever be stationed together at the same command.
