it would not be as long as you disclose it before you join.
Fraternization only applies if the parties are in the same chain of command. For example you are in his unit.
If they know in advance they will make sure you are never in the same chain of command

You are wrong. He is active duty you are in a ROTC class. You are not active duty. Not even close to being FRATERNIZATION. Even if you were in the AF as an officer and he is enlisted or officer in the Marine Corps you guys had a pre-existing relationship that will be taken into consideration. If he is like an E1 and someday you become and O1 and decide to go to a formal event together both in uniform then you may have some issues, but right now a college class and him being a real Marine is nothing but a boyfriend girlfriend relationship.

It is not fraternization because you were together before you either of you signed up. Everything else is a moot point. It is in the regulations. While in uniform in public or if in a common training environment you must remain professional. The same is true if at the same duty station or if you jobs bring you into contact with each other while on duty. With all that said ......GOOD LUCK in all things

Until you contract with ROTC, it means nothing. Eventually one of you will have to get out under the new regulations. There was a grandfather clause when the regulations changed, but its expired now for new people joining.
The exception here is that Reserves and National Guard do not count.

ROTC doesn't count towards fraternization(you are a civilian)....after you graduate and get commisioned, it might but somewhat unlikely with different branches of the service. Would he still be in the Marines when you commission?

In uniform it is call PDA (public display of affection), if you hold hands, kiss, hug.
If you get married you will not get in trouble for fraternization, stay out of uniform in public, the issue of fraternizing between officers and enlisted is a gray area, when you are in two different branches, it will probably not cause a problem. You will not be in a position to assist his career in the Marines.

huh, You are in High School JROTC, he is a recruit. Soon to be a Marine, if he survives bootcamp. It's OK, you ain't breaking any rules. Here is a tip, do not send him photos, food, or clothing. Because it will be shared with the entire platoon. Just send him letters, to remind him of his loved ones back home.

It is not fraternization,
Your boyfriend is a marine,
You are a civilian.
Yes, even ROTC students are considered civilians.

I doubt this would classify as Fraternization, you are not in the same Branch let alone the same chain of command.

Fratinzation is an undue familiarity between servicemembers of different grades within the same chain of command. So your situation does not constitute fratinization.
