In the AF, you are supposed to maintain your own peer group. Unless it's an organized function, for a whole flight, per se. Otherwise, you run the risk of favoritism. UCMJ actually covers this.

It is "suggested" that officers and enlisted maintain some degree of separation even when out of uniform. If an enlisted guy throws a party, in general he should not invite officers and vice versa. If the party is something like a New Year's Party at a hotel and they both happen to be there, there should be no problem if everyone behaves. They are considered equals in that situation since neither is the host of the party.
However, if an enlisted guy gets out of line such as becoming drunk and disorderly, the officer can ORDER him to take a taxi and go home and that is a legal and lawful order. If the officer becomes drunk and disorderly the enlisted guy can point it out to a higher ranking officer and the same can happen. Even out of uniform the relationship still exists and the good order and discipline of the service must be maintained.

that enlisted person will still address the officers and sir/maam.
both will conduct themselves professionally to ensure fraternization is not an issue which, since they are both at the same social gathering, without knowing any specifics, could still be construed as fraternization.

If you are enlisted and you are aware of who the officers are, it does not matter what branch, you WILL extend them all military courtesy in and out of uniform. Only exception, you do render a salute out of uniform.

I was in the AF, so we were all pretty much equals outside of duty. Neither is superior to the other. They are to avoid you, if they want to maintain that boundary.

depends on the circumstances..technically, you cannot socialize off duty, but if your spouse and the Co's spouse are best buds and one of them throws a party and invites the other one, then be polite but not overly familiar.
