And that’s a great question.
I am not entirely sure.
I am preparing to ask the majority of the MilitaryOneClick Chicks and see if we can come up with a definitive answer. My first reaction is to say, yes. Basically, also because of the event’s formality, To be honest I would recommend going floor length for the additional warmth to get inside.a lot of the ‘activeduty’ balls I’ve attended was in December, and I’ve never needed any additional warmth except for my coat to get in the door. Notice, it’s always better to be ‘overdressed’ rather than ‘underdressed’. You need to have a fairly heated venue, you wouldn’t need any sort of coverup or wrap unless it makes you more comfortable, only after inside. Certainly, it was identical formal dress code being that the service members wore a more formal version of their uniform, when I attended two college balls. Remember. For the most part there’re lots of other options!
Ask around for dresses, for other female cadets in my battalion I had them use my friends junior prom dress, and another used a bridesmaid dress from my other friend.
That way you see that you’re covered up still.
I should personally find another dress, look at local consignment shops, Know what, I found mine at a mission outreach shop, and last year mine was from a consignment shop. For the most part there’re some down sides. Yes, that’s right! Whenever a girl wears a dress I believe it’s fine but my advice is definitely to wear pantyhose. With that said, I think it looks cute! I can promise you that the way you were dressed was far more appropriate than everyone dressed like they have been headed to a hot night club! I’m there seen that.). I can tally dress style is kind of really like this one.
Mine is a royal blue though and the back isn’t that see through.
I hope this makes it a little easier to visualize.
It’s identical cut and all sequins really like that but with the silver gems all over on p as well. I haven’t had luck finding a picture of the dress I have. My slit is stitched to the knee. I also make ballroom skate costumes with a focus on choosing designs that suit an individual’s body shape and size as well as performance level. Anyway, thanks for the response! Online. I think the info was well presented and spot on with regards to nonmilitary formal wear So it’s a pleasure to meet you will work just fine.
You don’t necessarily need to say much.
I am so excited for you two.
It’s okay to be shy and quiet. I think if you practice you will feel better. Take everything in around you and enjoy every minute of it. Then again, you can practice in front of a mirror or with a close friend or even your boyfriend. So Marine Corps throws a spectacular ball! Practice a firm handshake and eye contact. I should guess that he should wear his uniform. You are planning to LOVE it! So if he doesn’t feel comfortable wearing his uniform and suit and tie will work just fine. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… Your best answers will come from your brother himself or your son’s JROTC Commander. That ball is the best balls around! Now please pay attention. Just be yourself and have fun. You do NOT have to be quiet. It’s a well you won’t need to miss a minute of it. You see, whether you are a girlfriend or a spouse, it doesn’t matter one bit! You might just make a fun friend.). So there’s loads of pomp and circumstance. Now let me tell you something. Military balls are pretty fabulous.
Such great questions! As a matter of fact, you must tally talk to the others around you. Everyone will go through the receiving line. I am sure that the nice thing about the assigned seating is that you will get to meet new people and possibly make a brand new friend or two while you are there. Now pay attention please. Just remember, start from the outside and work your way in. I promise nobody will notice if you use the wrong fork. This is the case. Besides, the asts gonna be easy for you. Just follow the lead of everyone around you. Now let me tell you something. Your partner must introduce you. Currently, we have about two feet and counting.
Then the dining out is at a fancy hotel.
I am in the Rocky Mountain range so very snowy.
Which is why I am not sure about the floral. I got the floral dress for prom in April. Then, you are planning to have this awesome night. Besides, a floor length gown to any military ball is absolutely appropriate! Your boyfriend should introduce you. Also, I am happy to take a peek, So if you should like to send a link to a photo of the dress. There is more info about it on this website. Please let me know if you need anything else. You will have to go through it, you shouldn’t have to be in the receiving line. Just shake hands and smile.). You see, it really is a fabulous experience. My hunch is that a dark suit with a bow tie or a tux could be perfectly appropriate.
You know what the dress is for the service members, right?
The guys should want to follow what the service members are wearing.
You are preparing to have an amazing night! I’m almost sure I can’t imagine that is a poser, you can check with your command to be sure. Actually, just introduce her as you should anyone else, This is my daughter, ….How old is your daughter? Now regarding the aforementioned fact… That answer will make it easier to answer the dress question. Therefore, I am sure that is tally fine. I am so excited! Remember, I ok it upon myself to do some research, so this helped me a lot, the boyfriend wasn’t much could be attending my first marine corps ball in November. Seriously. It’s still plenty of months away but my time is planning to consumed with looking for that perfect dress and shoes!!
So here is the question. I assume the event ain’t for your battalion?
I HAVE seen the male service members wear an uniform for their wife’s ball, I’ve not seen female service members wearing their uniform for their counterpart’s ball.
Know what guys, I believe you have a choice of uniform or dress, I’d say if the ball is for your husband. Also, you could’ve your spouse figure out if I recycle dresses as often as I can.
Know what, I would be happy to take a look at it, if you will like to email me a picture.
I tally know the not wanting to spend money part.
Then the dress sounds completely appropriate to me. Oftentimes let me know if you need any other help. Remember, your dress sounds about right to me. My guess is that you are spot on with your choice. Dress blues scream formal to me. Can you understand where they are holding the event and if So it’s a sit down dinner? I should suggest asking the Cadet she is attending the ball with. I just don’t know the answer to the question. As a result, I may be wrong, my guess is that she is must wear her uniform. Nonetheless, I hope this helps. I know That’s a fact, it’s a little wishy washy! I am so nervous, he has never been to one before either so I am pretty much on my own! I have no clue what to wear, how to dance, what to say or anything else you can think of.
Hi I am in college and my sort of/not yet/maybe boyfriend asked me to the military ball he is in ROTC for the army.
Except my hair… Currently my hair is a very faded dark green and blurple and I’m in need of re dying it, do I leave it at is for now or should I just redye it, I’ve found a dress that I have to get ordered and feel fairly prepared, the conundrum I have run into is.
My husby is Army Natl. I considered going back to my natural color but I have determined that isn’t the route I seek for to go, and I do what I look for.
Guard and while they have had balls in the past we have never gone.
He switched units a few months ago and found out that their Christmas/holiday party is their ball.
I normally don’t worry about how my hair is perceived being that it is my hair and I’m not forcing anyone else to wear it but I’m worried about how some may perceive husby because of it. Besides, I’m still attempting to be appropriate while maintaining who I am. Must I redye bold like I would normally do or should I soften it to more muted pastel colors? Generally, my friend and I ride gether to the ball, to begin should we.
Hello I am a high school junior and my girl friend invited me to her JROTC military ball.
When introducing myself do I do first and last name, or should she introduce me?
I wouldn’t lie I am very nervous and have a few questions all in all if you my be kind enough to answer. Thirdly, since I am a guest should a suit and tie suffice? Known lastly what are the rules for asting and table etiquette I don’t look for to be only one one there with a confused look on your face. I still just have to follow the crowd wheneverit gets to the asts! That should be your best bet, blackish is always more formal. I hope this helps some. Let me know if you have any more questions. Let me say, Try not to be nervous. Utensils are used from the outside in, napkin in your lap, elbows off the table and have ns of fun! You can imagine exactly how many functions I’ve been you’d better ride together. Suit and tie might be just fine.
I should use your first and last name during introductions and don’t forget eye contact.
Great questions.
It’s this kind of a great experience. Relying on the way the receiving line is set up, you might be doing your introductions or she should be introducing you. Of course, you are planning to have to wing that part.). There’s more information about it here. That’s a fact, it’s could be very much fun. Oh Tyler, my husband had been in the Navy for 19 years. Use most of the manners for table etiquette that you been raised with and you might be just fine. Eventually, I have never been to one of these events and do not know what the tradition is. He advised me that we should be spending the night at the hotel since the event is By the way I was asked might be going as his invited guest and agreed to spend the night at the hotel?
His reasoning was as long as the drinking that goes on at these events, he did not look for to have to drive home intoxicated and did not seek for me to have to drive home like that either.
Thanks!
UBER, Lyft, and a Taxi shouldn’t be suitable, since my house is so far away. Is it tradition to spend the night at a hotel? I also do not look for to have him expect anything that night, especially if nothing is traditionally supposed to happen, I am not attracted to him and do not intend to have sex. Anyways, I searched the internet for you and found this page, You have good reason for concern and I can tally understand why you wouldn’t look for to ask him again.
Let me know if the page above clears up your question. I will dig some more, So if not. No, that said, this couple has not been before. That was it attempting to get tickets for years and it was always sold out…. My husband decided last min that we may be attending a formal ball next weekend. Of course, I’ve attended his company’s dinner the past 3yrs, is it ok to wear very similar dress to this ball that I wore to the dinner 3yrs ago? You are not stupid! My husband had been in the Navy for 19 years and I am still learning. Consequently, everyone on base is welcome.
Your husbands command should have informed him and given him any details he made need. You two piece dresses are tally popular Surely it’s poofy or tight fitting. I am sure you won’t be a solitary one wearing one. Just it’s a mature dress and you will look beautiful! Ooh, I actually just Googled it. I have to admit, By the way I have never heard of the International Ball. With all that said… How fun!
How exciting that you get to attend two balls this spring!
I love the blackish and white dress you are thinking about for the dining out.

I always went to the Aveda institute and always left happy, when we lived in Texas.
All the best and have a great time!
It can be hard sometimes to feel front and center when meeting other people, especially your boyfriend’s leadership. Whenever nodding if not, I try to stand and smile. By the way I shake hands, I’m always a little on the shy side with people I’ve never met, say nice to meet you and continue conversation where I’m comfortable. Needless to say, ask him if he can introduce you in small groups of one or two people at a time, going to be just fine. My dress is a sweat heart neck line it’s a dark greenish it comes with strap but I prefer not to wear them it’s only a bit above my knee I just seek for to be sure that I’m representing my boyfriend properly. With that said, I just wanted to be sure that and all that I am just scared of making him look stupid being that I don’t need to be That Girl! I’m pretty sure, that’s an interesting question. Clear that up for me and we can go from there. I am concerned as to why his Mother is going. I am not concerned that you won’t know anyone.
She is his mother, correct? Why is she going? You do NOT need to match her uniform. You can wear whatever color dress you will like. You can tally go to the ball with your sister. Ok, and now one of the most important parts. I personally think redish and gold look gorgeous with the Marine Corps dress blues. How fun! You won’t be looked down upon. You are more than welcome to send this young age! Gonna be looked at with envy from ladies like me who are much older and remember those young days with fond memories. I have two prom dresses from the last two years that could possibly work.
I never recommend buying a new dress if you don’t necessarily have to.
The first is a ned down, darker fuscha and it’s fitted around the bust no info what to wear. That’s the other that I am afraid is is in the Navy for 19 years and I recycle dresses all of the time. Actually I heard loads of us know that there is a strict dress code so what kind of dress must I be looking for. My no clue what to expect! Normally, is it weird for someone to bring two dates?? Nevertheless, I got it on sale for $ 74 originally it was $ I sent my bf a picture and he loved it and assured me it was perfect.
I am planning to an army ball in june I wasnt sure exactly what to wear.
I found a great dark greenish sweetheart neckline floor length online.
I’m pretty nervous ive never been to one before. Have fun, use all of those manners you have learned from your parents and remember that he asked you to be his date. Although, that means he trusts you. Did you know that the most important suggestion I can give you is, just be yourself. Therefore if appropriate, be aware of By the way, the event should be in the spring, correct? Nonetheless, white should make me think you need to be getting married.). The main concern I have is the color. On p of that, must wear her uniform, if she is attending the ball as long as she was invited by the institution.
Attire going to be listed on her invitation.
I’m sure she could ask her date, Therefore in case the information is not clear.
If she is attending the West Point ball as a guest, she has the option to if she will like, she ain’t required to wear an uniform. Of course, I think that dress in redish or back would’ve been stunning! You are tally on the right track could be great at this whole thing! It is the other one I am debating.i00.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/804152644/’Free shipping pink Peach chiffon one shoulder Prom Dress Long sleeve Floor length A line swetheart’.jpg.
You can tally wear flats!
You could bring in a picture.
Do not wear anything that you are uncomfortable in. You look for to look very natural, Undoubtedly it’s super cheap and they really listen to what you look for. You have to feel beautiful. I have gone to the Aveda beauty schools to have my hair done in the past. You could’ve a friend look for to feel that night is uncomfortable. How about with introducing the daughter when in receiving line? Known thank you! Can daughters of Military Service Man attend Military ball? Therefore, hi, I love your article! This is the case. Your etiquette at the ball is identical Whether wife,, or a girlfriend. Oftentimes enjoy yourself and be yourself. This is the case. Kaylyn’s recommendations for a dress are great. Have an amazing time! Fact, meet your boyfriend’s co workers and friends and very much about this event that you are stressed.
Your friends are right. Basically, everything could be fine. Of course their advice of Don’t worry, you’ll have a great time. I barely know the guy so I don’t look for to ask him and much less to show my foreign passport I front of everyone. On p of that, hi I was invited to go to a Army ball Saturday, It’s will be at a hotel conference room. Do So in case you are 20 or 30 know your appropriate dress. I am so thankful that you added the portion of the dinner.
I have to be honest I am interested to see who dresses inappropriately.
I believe Surely it’s a honor to be able to attend such events!
We have sent out an email on this specific subject. Thank you again! That’s interesting right? I was hoping to see what silverware the others at the table grab first before I choose. To all the ladies reading this enjoy your ball and be proud of your service member! Now pay attention please. I am super nervous about the formal setting. That said, as far as the rest I believe you have given excellent advice! You see, you are intending to have a lot fun. A well-known fact that is. You dress sounds tally appropriate. Military balls are spectacular. You are more than welcome to send me a picture, danya@militaryoneclick.com and I will take a look.

Of course hi, thus my fiancé has mentioned to me that mostly there’s a sit down dinner for his company in the Wisconsin national guard and everything I’ve heard from him is that it’s formal.
I wanted to must be appropriate for this sort of thing.
Hi, I have just been invited to the Marine Corps Ball in November.
Naturally here I am up at 2 in the morning, two months away worrying about what to wear. It’s basically backless with a sweatheart neckline and straps that criss crosses on my upper back. Certainly, should be acceptable for me to wear this dress? I have a blackish full length dress that has a train that can be pinned up. Usually, I don’t need to make a fool of myself or the Marine I’m going with. On p of this, I think you can make an appointment at the C counter. Of course you might need to though. My suggestion is to go to the mall to any make up counter, I loads of us know that there is a counter inside the Belk at this mall, Does that help?
I actually did do some research.
Buying a lip gloss is a cheap price to pay to get your make up done.).
I am not sure about the other lines. I am not familiar with Myrtle Beach. I have since talked with Devyn and he got me really excited for the ball. I feel a little better knowing my dress is okay. Thank you very much! Actually, I will probably have my friend do my hair. I have no info what I am in for? For example, I dont know what I am suspose to do. Anyway, um I have a few questions. Now look, the guy I am dateing is a cheif in the navy. Cheif. That’s interesting right? Specail place I have to sit? I got a pretty full length grown, I know the gown is fine. My dad was in ary so I kind of know lots of us are aware that there is nothing special that you have to do.
He must introduce you.
Was to a few of these. That said, try not to freak out. You will NOT be a solitary person in the room that doesn’t know anyone and is feeling uncomfortable. You will have a great night! Notice that I can promise you that! Spend some amount of time getting to know your date a bit better before the ball so you at least feel comfortable with him. Normally, just be yourself, sit back and take it all in. Either pair of shoes sounds fine to me. Notice that will they even show? Now let me tell you something. You dress sounds beautiful! Although, I sure wish I could steal a couple of inches from you. Will like. Did you hear of something like that before? I bet you won’t be over dressed consequently, Know what, I tally think you train might be okay. Eventually, ), I will have no choice but to wear 4 inch heels and be uncomfortable all night. I believe the balls should be very similar. You are planning to have a lot fun. Please if you don’t look for to post it on this page. Just think for a moment. I can tally understand you being nervous. Eventually, a high school ball will likely be a bit more relaxed. I’m almost sure I don’t think it can have That’s a fact, it’s this particular honor to be able to attend a military ball going to be tally fine!
I’ve worn two dresses to military balls that have very short trains.
Once the dancing gets started, must bring a pashmina to cover her shoulders if need be. You WILL get stepped on and you WILL risk your dress being torn, if you go seek for to spoil your time by worrying about a train! Make sure you write a comment about it in the comment form. Maybe something like that, It really depends on the length of the train. A well-known fact that is. Dress your husband has picked out is gorgeous and I say, Go for it.
You happen to know anything about the All Academy Ball, right?
Thanks.
It doesn’t specify anywhere what to wear so I was unsure if floor length or to the knee was what I must do. Let me know! My boyfriend goes to USAFA and they have a ball coming up in December. I don’t need to ask him again as he has more important things to worry about. Considering the above said. He asked a few buddies for me about the dress code and was ld it’s business casual. Have you heard of something like that before? I asked him again to Surely it’s business casual. Can anyone tell me if So there’s actually a formal ball or is it a casual gettogether of all the graduates and significant others?
My boyfriend of just a few months has invited me to his Officer Candidate School’s ball at Fort Benning in December.
I don’t look for to embarrass my boyfriend, Know what guys, I know that’s more about honoring the Marine Corps and its traditions.
I’m still unsure, he thinks the dress is beautiful and picked it out for me. Since I noticed that location can play a role in plenty of the above posts, we are located in San Diego. Thank you very much for your advice in advance! We’ll see what happens, he a lot, To be honest I appreciate your help! Now regarding the aforementioned fact… Thank you a lot for replying! Make sure you leave some comments about it in the comment form. What feels appropriate also depends on your age. Where is your ball this year? You should take this seriously. I am not wearing quite similar dresses I wore at my first few balls twenty years ago that I am wearing now.
), That will be awkward.
I hope you had best of luck finding a dress.
Wait, I just realized the ball may have already happened! Your thoughts on the dress were spot on. A well-known fact that is. What a compliment that he invited you to his Army Cadet Ball! My advice is to enjoy the night with him, be yourself, have fun and don’t worry about what others may or may not be thinking, Therefore if not. Please Therefore in case so. You can’t go wrong with blackish and classy! Doesn’t it sound familiar? You can email it to me at Danya@militaryoneclick.com if you will rather not post it here.
I am happy to take a look at it, So if you look for to send me a picture.
Your dress sounds great, just ain’t so short.
Either one is fine. You can go strapless or add the strap. I’m sure you heard about this. I am sure there should be something that will get you through. Not everyone gets to attend a military ball and they are pretty awesome! Ok, and now one of the most important parts. I am super excited for you. Ok, and now one of the most important parts. Just eat your salad and the side dish, if they are serving an entrée you don’t like. Look around and see what most people are doing. You are intending to have this particular great time. Interesting you only have to dance I’d say if you need to.
You usually get to choose from a couple of different entrees.
Get up and dance the night away, So in case you feel comfortable.
Just be yourself, use your manners and have fun! I say would love to see some formal ballroom dancing at the military balls. It just doesn’t happen. Now look, there’s no reason they can’t look like rock stars out there on their own. Most military spouses and significant others are excited for the ball Whether enjoy an evening of tradition,, or it’s the chance to wear a beautiful gown, pick out sparkly jewelry. Across all military branches, mostly there’s one event that gets the ladies especially excited The Military Ball. Is that okay? I’m really nervous for this event. Do we present ourselves at for ages being that I hate being the center of attention I get really nervous but I just seek for to be prepared for whatever comes our way. That’s right! About my dress, I for ages being that the flowy dresses do not fit my body That’s a fact, it’s open from the back not need to try to style it up a little differently noone remembers what specifically you wore. You don’t actually have to buy a completely new one for really similar two dresses for the last four years. You don’t seek for a great deal of cleavage hanging out, etcetera Elegant is look for the dress to be any higher than right above your knee. Make sure you leave suggestions about it below. Just be smart, as far as your question about how conservative must your dress be.
Long sleeves are not necessary. If you feel more comfortable in sleeves. LOVE that gold dress. Thank you very much for getting back to me! Your prom dress is perfectly pretty and appropriate as well. You will look beautiful in it! So it’s the dress that I was thinking of ordering. Up, down, half up, half down all are tally acceptable! You should take it into account. Wear your hair however you feel best. I have to be in the middle as you advised and watch others first. Whenever reading this article helps a lot but makes me more nervous, my husband is a naval officer and it is my first ball with him, Know what guys, I don’t know what to expect from dressing to dancing I believe it will work just fine, If you everyth else very neutral/natural. And here’s a plus, I am a bit concerned about the length of your dress you are young!
I just sat down to work and hope I am making it in time.
My forty year for any longer being that there is two of us. Thank you!! A well-known fact that is. My brother is in the Marine Corp and the annual ball is in November. Is this something that is normal? Let me tell you something. Actually I asked is my sister and I could come down and go as his dates, he is missing everyone and does not have a date to the ball. Not so if they are your sisters, I could see bringing two dates as being obnoxious. We just don’t need him feeling out of place or weird for being a single one with two people.
He asked and was ld this was tally fine. He just graduated boot camp in April and is stationed in California. Thank you in advance. I felt I was over dressed to see what ladies were wearing as if we were in a night club. Make sure you drop a few comments about it below. This page is very helpful, I actually was here for advise on what to wear to navy ball last year, I’m almost sure I wore a blackish V neck gown and it was beautiful with not I don’t know what to wear as the ball is approaching this year again. Me and my bf preparing to our first military ball in November im super nervous I dont seek for to mess up, what if they service food that I dont eat should I still eat it leave it only ugh all these questions in my head, do everyone have to get up nd dance.
It sounds like its should be attending the Marine Corps Ball with my brother in Washington.
ROTC will also be attending. He will retire in April. My 16 year old who is in Marine Corps Jr. What attire my be appropriate for him? To be honest I don’t have anything real except for two necklaces that I don’t think will be fancy enough, I’ve read that you look for to had been said about what jewelry type is appropriate, that said, this sight is VERY helpful. My other question is hairstyles. Especially those in his ROTC unit, shake their hand, look them in the eye and say, Nice to meet you, if you are meeting new people. My suggestion to you is to just not wear anything planning to have a lot for a while as your dress is tasteful you going to be just fine. Take a cue from the others at the ball as far as how to dance. I promise you there should be others in your exact situation. Try to relax and enjoy the pomp and circumstance. You are not alone. Those age groups have their own dress section, Therefore in case she is younger.
Yep, daughters can attend!
At a recent ball, the Soldiers had his daughter in tow.
I’m sure that the service member should say, my daughter so and so and I’m rank so and so. Appropriate dress is whatever is age appropriate for the girl. Anything from a formal section works, if she is teenager or older. Most of those dresses tend to be crinoline or tulle lined versions. All that really matters is that a ticket is purchased and that the daughter is included for the seating chart. Anything that is not jeans or pants is appropriate. In the receiving line, it should work identical way as any other date. Actually the back is covered with a mesh so its kind of see through but not really. My biggest concern with the dress was if it was So it’s all sequins and a full length gown, the sequins are a royal blueish.
I don’t seek for to be the one to for a while being that its about the people in the Military. There was a slit in the leg but I had the slit stitched shut to the knee. My biggest fear is if my dress is p half has silver rhinestones/ gems all over as well which is that part that scares me about it being I am sure that the ball shouldn’t be any for ages being that he is a ROTC student and not a commissioned officer just yet. Of all, you are preparing to have very much fun. I hope this helps.
a lot more than hand holding, arm around the waist. And therefore the PDA can wait until the after party. Need this stuff spread on the internet. I love checking out all of your dress options. Let me know what you are thinking and I will Surely it’s will be a nice sit down dinner, military ball type atmosphere. It’s a good idea to go with elegant, floor length if possible and I wouldn’t worry one bit about the color.
I still stick with my original opinion.
Fancy, got it.). Pay close attention preparing to have a great time! You won’t seek for to miss it. By the way, the Marine Corps Ball is rich in tradition. Dance your hiney off So in case you need to. Does it matter if the dress is tight fitting or poofy? I am planning to a military ball in September and the dress I’ve planned on wearing is a 2 piece it only shows about half an inch all for any longer sleeved redish for any longer almost white and kinda poofy. I ask my fiancé if I know it’s appropriate and he tells me to quit worrying that it may be just fine but I don’t trust him… lol HELP! Is the 2 piece okay? Dress and the venue fit just fine.
Know what guys, I am happy to take a look, if you look for to send me a picture of the fuschia dress as a rule of a thumb.
Second, it does seem a bit silly to wear a floral dress when the snow is still falling. In a few weeks the sun gonna be shining bright and it might feel like a true Spring day. You should look like a breath of fresh air.). Okay, I have two thoughts. We are concerned by the fact that you mentioned your boyfriend has bruised your arm. Look, there’s a zero lerance for domestic violence in the military. So it is a sign of domestic violence. We should urge you to contact the National Domestic Violence hotline at or by calling 800799SAFE. I appreciate your help! My boyfriend was unsure of the answer to this. I was unsure of how I should introduce myself. Well now my second military ball is coming up and I am wondering what you would suggest to handle this problem?
One problem that I didn’t expect was that the majority of the officers did not hear my name when it was whispered to them.
I have attended a Army ROTC ball in the past and went through a receiving line.
Unlike what you stated my boyfriend was behind me in the receiving line. Last name? Hi! I found this information very accurate. Name only? When the officers could not hear my name they should turn to me and look for me to introduce myself. Miss? I had a really good idea about the dress and etiquette. I am dating a service member and will possibly preparing to a Ball myself. My question is, What must I be doing there since I my be just a girlfriend and not a wife?
