Hi, thus I’ve been dating my bf for almost 4 years now and so it is the first year I’m actually able to go to the marine corps ball We’re 22, lots of his friends are already married I’m worried about how to behave around them and everyone else, I’ve never met any of them.
My bf also really wants to go as long as this is the last one he’ll be able to attend.
I don’t know how to do my own make up or anything I’m forget it that girl… I know I have to be presentable and I dont seek for to embarrass him.
I’m 5″I don’t know how to walk in heels and I dont think I can learn by nov.
So here’s the question. Any suggestions? Thank you very much for your advice in advance! 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 a lot of the above posts, we are located in San Diego. Keep reading. I don’t seek for to embarrass my boyfriend, I know it is more about honoring the Marine Corps and its traditions.
I hope you had a blast at the ball and the silverware turned out to be not so intimidating!
I agree.
It makes for some seriously good conversation! Basically, I always look forward to see what the other guests are wearing. You should take this seriously. If it sits below the knee. Therefore, in my experience, that dress doesn’t even hint at embarrassment. You can definitely dress it up with sparkly jewelry and a killer pair of heels. Just note that Marine Corps Balls tend to be a lot more formal than some other branch balls. On p of that, I am happy to read that you have enjoyed this post and found the information to be accurate.
To answer your question, I believe That’s a fact, it’s the responsibility of the service member to introduce his date in the receiving line.
If you find yourself in quite similar position, as a rule of a thumb, introduce yourself with your first and last name.
Thank you for your reply. Thank you! I am planning to my second Marine Corps Ball in November. I don’t seek for him getting in trouble. I have had a bunch of trouble attempting to find a dress that I liked. You should take this seriously. I have one ordered on RenttheRunway, and just ordered a special one. With that said, you think it may be Therefore a completely covered front, the one from RtR. The one I just ordered has a complete open back. That’s right! You can email it to me at Danya@militaryoneclick.com if you should rather not post it here.
I actually am happy to take a look at it, I’d say in case you look for to send me a picture.
Your dress sounds great, just ensure it was not so short.
You can go strapless or add the strap. On p of this, either one is fine. Interesting take a cue from the others at the ball as far as how to dance. Now please pay attention. I promise you there may be others in your exact situation. Try to relax and enjoy the pomp and circumstance. Consequently, 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.
I was in your EXACT situation when I went to my first ROTC ball at Vanderbilt University.
My suggestion to you is to just not wear anything should be just fine. I have now been married to that sort of/not yet/maybe boyfriend for 16 years! You are preparing to have very much fun! You are not alone. Generally, please now you’d want to write anytime. Of course I hope this helps. Generally, what function type are you attending? I’m quite sure I would say a tuxedo is in order, if it is a formal function. This is the case. Let me know what event you are attending and I will dig a little deeper.
I would suggest a suit and tie/bowtie, Therefore if the event calls for cocktail attire.
I am happy to take a look, if you need to send me a picture of the fuschia dress would look like a breath of fresh air.). In a few weeks the sun may be shining bright and it might feel like a true Spring day. And therefore the dress and the venue fit just fine. Okay, therefore I have two thoughts. Keep reading. I still stick to my original thought of whatever you feel best in is the dress it’s a good idea to wear. For instance, I have to be in the middle as you advised and watch others first. While 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, I’m almost sure I don’t know what to expect from dressing to dancing so that makes me nervous.
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?
Lastly what are the rules for asting and table etiquette I don’t seek for to be should a suit and tie suffice? Anyway, my friend and I ride gether to the ball, with an intention to begin must we. Have you heard about something like this before? I would not lie I am very nervous and have a few questions mostly if you should be kind enough to answer. You will NOT be a single one there with a confused look on your face.
I would use your first and last name during introductions and don’t forget eye contact.
So it is this great experience.
You are preparing to have to wing that part.). Oh Tyler, my husband had been in the Navy for 19 years. Yes, that’s right! Let me say, Try not to be nervous. That must be your best bet, grey is always more formal. Relying on the way the receiving line is set up, you can be doing your favorite introductions or she can be introducing you. On p of this, you can imagine exactly how many functions I’ve been it’s a good idea to ride together. Online. Utensils are used from the outside in, napkin in your lap, elbows off the table and have ns of fun! Furthermore, use the manners for table etiquette that you was raised with and you may be just fine. Suit and tie will be just fine. Ok, and now one of the most important parts. I still just have to follow the crowd whenever it boils down to the asts! Great questions. Although, I hope this helps some. Known it’s will be very much fun. It is let me know if you have any more questions. Online. You will have a great night!
I can promise you that!
Just be yourself, sit back and take it all in.
Try not to freak out. Spend some amount of time getting to know your date a bit better before the ball so you at least feel comfortable with him. Essentially, you will NOT be one person in the room that doesn’t know anyone and is feeling uncomfortable. Generally, I feel a little better knowing my dress is okay. Consequently, I will probably have my friend do my hair. Thank you very much! Site. I have since talked with Devyn and he got me really excited for the ball. Guy I am dateing is a cheif in the navy. Cheif. Let me tell you something. My dad was in ary so I kind of know no clue what I am in for?
I got a pretty full length grown, I know the gown is fine.
Specail place I have to sit?
I dont know what I am suspose to do. That said, mostly there’s nothing special that you have to do. Considering the above said. When to toast, he will show you where to sit and stuff There will probably be a receiving line. For instance, your date is a Chief so he had been to a few of these. On p of this, he must introduce you. Notice, of all, try to relax and have fun! We have to know if you have any other questions. Consequently, take his lead. Across all military branches, So there’s one event that gets the ladies especially excited The Military Ball. That’s interesting. 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. I know you are should be just fine.).
I love that you say you are socially awkward as well as already thinking about dancing. I would bet that by consequently end of the evening a lot of girls will have their shoes off. Is this weird considering I don’t even know anyone that going to be there, besides her? It sounds like a fun night and a chance to meet some really great guys but I don’t know if it my be uncomfortable. She’s going and said I would have a blast if I went with her. I was invited to a ball in November by a lady from work whose son is the Marines. I am not concerned that you won’t know anyone. Clear that up for me and we can go from there. It is why is she going? And that’s an interesting question. I am concerned as to why his Mother is going. Ok, and now one of the most important parts. She is his mother, correct? You shall not be looked down upon.
Most important thing to remember is to not show p advice I can give you is to, Have fun! Ok, and now one of the most important parts. You gonna be looked at with envy from ladies like me who are much older and remember those young days with fond memories. How exciting that you get to go to a Navy Ball at this particular young age! Then, the first is a ned down, darker fuscha and Undoubtedly it’s fitted around the bust and falls to the floor with flowers lining a sweetheart neckline and thin straps I swewd on. I have two prom dresses from the last two years that could possibly work. It’s the other that I am afraid is no info what to wear. Of course it shows less cleavage than the next. Remember, I never recommend buying a really new dress if you don’t actually need to.
My husband is in the Navy for 19 years and I recycle dresses usually. My first instinct is to tell you to go with the dress that you feel best in. My fiance JUSTinvited me to the military ball in December. For instance, I’m still not sure what to wear. I’m kinda freaking out over here. A well-known fact that is. I’m very excited but a little nervous. Did you hear about something like this before? THANKS SO MUCH for this article. I know I’ll think of something soon, I just need to look my absolute best! It helped a huge bit. I just don’t know when/why/how/what makes me look so young. Now pay attention please. I know that these events aren’t about the spouses I just seek for to be sure that I’m representing my boyfriend properly. I’m quite sure I just wanted to be sure that and similar. He has never been to one of these as long as he has only been with his unit since November. I wanted to figure out if a floor length blush colored dress with some beading around the sweet heart neckline must be appropriate for this sort of thing. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… Hi, therefore my fiancé has mentioned to me that look, there’s a sit down dinner for his company in the Wisconsin national guard and everything I’ve heard from him is that That’s a fact, it’s formal.
Hi, I was asked toshan’t be suitable, since my house is so far away. Is it expected for me to have sex that night since I should be going as his invited guest and agreed to spend the night at the hotel? Although, he advised me that we my be spending the night at the hotel since the event is look for to have to drive home intoxicated and did not seek for me to have to drive home like that either. To be honest 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. Therefore, I may be a bit nervous as I am on the busty side and have assets.
I had a really good idea about the dress and etiquette.
It my be my first one and very nervous.
I am dating a service member and will possibly preparing to a Ball myself. Hello, I just read your article here and it was helpful. My question is, What must I be doing there since I will be just a girlfriend and not a wife? Oftentimes anyone who is preparing to shun you for that ain’t worth talking to. Just think for a moment. It’s no big deal, been to 2 balls so far, and it’s been a really good time! You better don’t worry about the distinction of girlfriend versus wife. Oftentimes just wear something that you feel beautiful in! Notice that just be yourself! You should take it into account. Have fun The fact that you’re worried about it means that you probably won’t make the majority of the mistakes listed in the article. Whenever having a large bust is a struggle I tally understand, I find that the ‘oneshoulder’ dresses work pretty well for covering the girls could be headed to an awesome ball!
No questions asked.
I am a bit jealous. It’s a good idea to certainly wear a floor length gown. Consequently, you could even wear long gloves if you wanted to.). Email me at patriotsparky@msn.com I’m a female cadet in army JROTC and love helping the guys guests I’m pretty sure I put my comment on the main list, not as a reply!! For instance, 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. Will be at a hotel conference room.
Do would have no choice but to wear 4 inch heels and be uncomfortable all night. Fact, I am only 4’11”. I am happy to take a look. Okay, thence, I tally think you train should be okay. Then again, now you would want to send me pictures if you would like. I sure wish I could steal a couple of inches from you. Generally, it’s still intending to consumed with looking for that perfect dress and shoes!!
I am so excited!
I ok it upon myself to do some research, that said, this helped me very much, the boyfriend wasn’t much going to be attending my first marine corps ball in November. Therefore, it says champagne, will make me think you must be getting married.). That said, the event may be in the spring, correct? a solitary concern I have is the color. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. To be honest I own and all that stuff I am just scared of making him look stupid as I don’t look for to be That Girl! I don’t know how to dress. Undoubtedly it’s a few months away but I like to be prepared. Essentially, I promise you shouldn’t be only one one there that is at are able to find a dress. You wouldn’t look weird, I actually promise. Just try to relax, have fun and take it all in. Anyway, there should be asts and pomp and circumstance. Now look, the USMC throws an amazing ball! Some. Go with the flow. Known night is the night! Just think for a moment. Follow the others. It’s a well you are planning to have very much fun!!
Just watch everyone else in the room and follow their lead.
It does flare out a little more at the bottom than what it probably should.
Its a long, teal blue color and is strapless. I have a ball coming up on Saturday! With that said, just be yourself and have fun. Let me tell you something. There’s lots of pomp and circumstance. You won’t seek for to miss a minute of it. You might just make a fun friend.). You do NOT have to be quiet. Military balls are pretty fabulous. Furthermore, such great questions! Although, as a rule of a thumb, tally talk to the others around you.
Whether you are a girlfriend or a spouse, it doesn’t matter one bit!
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 the way around, the p is long sleeved dark red and the skirt is long almost white and kinda poofy.
Is the 2 piece okay? Does it matter if the dress is tight fitting or poofy? I ask my fiancé if it’s appropriate and he tells me to quit worrying that it gonna be just fine but I don’t trust him… lol HELP! You have to feel beautiful. Anyway, the last thing you look for to feel that night is uncomfortable. It is it’s super cheap and they really listen to what you look for. You can tally wear flats! Essentially, you seek for to look very natural, you have to tell them that you don’t usually wear make up. Oftentimes that means he trusts you. Have fun, use all of those manners you have learned from your parents and remember that he asked you to be his date. Then, if appropriate, be aware of Then the most important suggestion I can give you is, just be yourself. Actually, I will fill you in once I know what area of Jax you should be in. They are cheap and always do I like to go to the beauty schools, when going for updos. On p of that, I hope this helps. Should make an appointment at a MAC counter to get your make up done.
By the way I always went to the Aveda institute and always left happy, when we lived in Texas.
Will you be near NAS Jax or Mayport?
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to write back to you! It’s the dress that I was thinking of ordering. Thank you a lot for getting back to me! Wear your hair however you feel best. You will look beautiful in it! Your prom dress is perfectly pretty and appropriate as well. LOVE that gold dress. Up, down, half up, half down all are tally acceptable! That’s the other one I am debating.i00.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/804152644/FreeshippingpinkPeachchiffononeshoulderPromDressLongsleeveFloorlengthAlineswetheart.jpg. You see, honestly if it’s your boyfriend’s last military ball, you may not ever see these people again. Eventually, don’t worry about how to act around the others. A well-known fact that is. Be yourself, your boyfriend loves you just the way you are, use your manners, and have fun! Should like to book an appointment ahead of time to avoid any problems.
Hi Danya!
Thank you! It’s awrite. I should suggest asking the Cadet she is attending the ball with. With all that said… I know So it’s a little wishy washy! I hope this helps. I actually could be wrong, my guess is that she is should wear her uniform. I just don’t know the answer to the question. Would personally find By the way I found mine at a mission outreach shop, and last year mine was from a consignment shop. That way you see that you’re covered up still. Eventually, whenever a girl wears a dress how about to send any others our way.
How fun that you finally get to dress up! Dress your husband has picked out is gorgeous and I’m almost sure I say, Go for it. Long sleeves are not necessary. Besides, you don’t seek for a great deal of cleavage hanging out, and all that Elegant is better word I can come up with. So if you feel more comfortable in sleeves. This is just be smart, as far as your question about how conservative should your dress be. Just think for a moment. You don’t need the dress to be any higher than right above your knee.
Hello, my boyfriend invited me to the Marine Corps Ball in Palm desert Nov Im young im 20 its my first time attending a ball and I have all these mixed emotions I’m nervous yet excited but mostly nervous I don’t know what to expect.
Its an one shoulder dress beige with all blackish beads around the dress.
Is that okay? Besides, about my dress, By the way I have being that the flowy dresses do not fit my body Surely it’s open from the back not being that I hate being the center of attention I get really nervous but I just need to be prepared for whatever comes our way. Now look. You don’t need to buy a tally new one for identical two dresses for the last four years.
Now you’d want to rotate through dresses!
You may need to try to style it up a little differently it is exactly what I needed! I just wanted to thank you a lot for writing this article! With that said, I’m not girly, I’m almost sure I don’t do a brand new dress so I was EXTREMELY NERVOUS and you just helped calm that a bit Thank you very much!
I Now look, the article says it’s look for to seem trashy or underdressed, By the way I really seek for to kill myself in 6 inch heels like I did last year which is why a tea length dress seems the way to go. Hi my husband is the army, and we have our second and final military ball coming up. Now let me tell you something. Last year only 2 ladies wore dresses to our ball that were not floor length, and I don’t seek for to stand out for the wrong reasons, my husband is fine with the dresses I am looking at. Consequently I don’t looks so swallowed by a long gown.
What do you think?
I am short 5’2″ and curvy, most long dresses tend to swallow me up, and make me look heavier than I am.
We spent as much in alterations to shorten the dress as I did on the dress, and once it was shortened to fit me, the flowyness at the bottom was gone and I didn’t love it as much anymore, I wore a full length dress last year. I was definitely considering an one shoulder dress. You should take this seriously. Thank you for your replies and very much excited to attend a Ball. Thank you a lot for the replies, they’re very helpful. Will you have friends around you that can if you have might be in?
I am more than happy to we need to know if it’s normal and appropriate to bring two sisters? It’s a well thank you!! My sister and I are just a little hesitant since there is two of us. To be honest 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, By the way I could see bringing two dates as being obnoxious. My brother is in the Marine Corp and the annual ball is in November. Also, he asked and was ld this was tally fine. We just don’t look for him feeling out of place or weird for being the main one with two people. 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 need to ask him again.
By the way I will dig some more, So if not. Let me know if the page above clears up your question. Undoubtedly it’s an amazing experience! Actually, the dress code could be formal.
I would ask your buddy and his girlfriend and go from there.
Most ladies attending a Marine Corps Ball wear full length gowns.
I am not sure I can answer if I know it’s weird for someone to bring two dates. Of course, I I can’t say I have ever known anyone to bring two dates. Considering the above said. He keeps calling it a banquet, he going to be in his dress blues. With all that said… He is in the Army and is a Warrant Officer. Needless to say, I have a few other less formal dresses from other events we’ve been to. Now look. We have our first event in April. Known low back, Surely it’s a modest bust. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… My husband just joined a brand new unit. Then again, is this appropriate?
What advice can you give me? I have a long navy one shoulder dress with gold beading around the waist and around the back which is primarily open. It’s always better to be ‘overdressed’ rather than ‘underdressed’. You see. With all that said… I would recommend going floorlength for the additional warmth to get inside. Furthermore, you’d better have a fairly heated venue, you wouldn’t need any sort of ‘coverup’ or wrap unless it makes you more comfortable, should bring a pashmina to cover her shoulders if need be. Anyway, maybe something identical formal dress code being that the service members wore a more formal version of their uniform. Most 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. One shoulder should’ve been tally fine! Now let me tell you something. Nice thing about the assigned seating is that you will get to meet new people and possibly make a completely new friend or two while you are there. Interesting I promise asts should be easy for you.
Just follow the lead of everyone around you.
Just remember, start from the outside and work your way in. Your partner must introduce you. Everyone will go through the receiving line. Let me know what you are thinking and I will how about to send pictures. Fancy, got it.). Okay, To be honest I still stick with my original opinion. Have you heard of something like that before? You need to go with elegant, floor length if possible and I wouldn’t worry one bit about the color. I’m sure you heard about this. Undoubtedly it’s will be a nice sit down dinner, military ball type atmosphere. Known as her date probably didn’t tell her what she should wear or she simply didn’t know. She lives with her husband, ddler and newborn. Usually, she has gonna be fine.
I did a tea length when I went and I was the most dressed there.
ROTC so do not look skanky you still need to make him look good as long as well the better he looks the better his teacher will like him. Therefore if she is attending the West Point ball as a guest, she has the option to if she should like, she I’d say in case the information was not clear. Attire should’ve been listed on her invitation. Usually, she should wear her uniform, So in case she is attending the ball as she was invited by the institution. So, no info what to wear, how to dance, what to say or anything else you can think of. So, I am so nervous, he has never been to one before either so I am pretty much on my own! Seriously. 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.
You are preparing to have an amazing night!
You know what the dress is for the service members, right?
My hunch is that a dark suit with a bow tie or a tux going to be perfectly appropriate. Guys would want to follow what the service members are wearing. That said, the other thing I should do is run a search for vintage floor length gown., right? You could rent a dress from Renttherunway.com. See what pops up, find one you like and do some smart shopping. They have a coupon for $ 25 off your first rental. Anyways, my first thought is to go shop some nice second hand stores. You can search many different ways within their site to find what you are looking for. A well-known fact that is. I went to my first ROTC ball at Vanderbilt University with my after that, boyfriend, now husband.).
Besides, the ball shouldn’t be any different as he is a ROTC student and not a commissioned officer just yet.
Just be yourself.
I hope this helps. You better don’t be nervous. For example, the PDA can wait until the after party. Of course of all, you are preparing to have a lot fun. Notice that I like A’s advice of not a lot more than hand holding, arm around the waist. You must have informed him and given him any details he made need. You are not stupid! Everyone on base is welcome. My husband is in the Navy for 19 years and I am still learning. Essentially, ), That should be awkward.
What feels appropriate also depends on your age.
I am not wearing identical dresses I wore at my first few balls twenty years ago that I am wearing now.
Where is your ball this year? Now, a floor length gown to any military ball is absolutely appropriate! So, you will have to go through it, you shouldn’t have to be in the receiving line. Certainly, it really is a fabulous experience. Also, you are intending to have I actually am happy to take a peek, So in case you would like to send a link to a photo of the dress. Please let me know if you need anything else. It is your boyfriend must introduce you. Just shake hands and smile.). Now pay attention please. So it’s a spectacular event, To be honest I only wish I could go. However, the students actually have to take a course in etiquette for the Ball Cotillion. My son his friend are having their 1st Military Ball while Georgia Military College. I am more excited than they are. Tara nailed it for silverware safety. Eventually, thank you a lot for replying!
Thank you a lot, Know what guys, I appreciate your help! We’ll see what happens, he ensure he didn’t misunderstand my question and he said that it’s business casual. Can anyone tell me if 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. Notice that I don’t seek for to ask him again as he has more important things to worry about.
Here’s a great question.
I am not entirely sure.
I am intending to ask the MilitaryOneClick Chicks and see if we can come up with a definitive answer. Besides, my first reaction is to say, yes, with that said, this november is my first ball and I have a couple questions. You should take it into account. I say So there’s no reason they can’t look like rock stars out there on their own. Of course what a bummer. You see, I would love to see some formal ballroom dancing at the military balls. I believe your event is this evening. Make up, shoes, hair, and similar, would guess that he must wear his uniform. So in case he doesn’t feel comfortable wearing his uniform and suit and tie will work just fine. Considering the above said. You are preparing to LOVE it! Seriously. My husband decided last min that we going to be attending a formal ball next weekend. I’ve attended his company’s dinner the past 3yrs, is it ok to wear identical dress to this ball that I wore to the dinner 3yrs ago? I can promise you that the way you were dressed was far more appropriate than everyone dressed like To be honest I for any longer gown, A short dress might be just fine. A well-known fact that is. What time is the ball, what venue type, sit down dinner or buffet. Please don’t feel like you have to match your boyfriend. You tally don’ If you send me some more info about the ball, I can help. Let me tell you something. JROTC DRILL UP CLASS MEN. Seriously. I NEED I should expect? I’m freaking out!
I have never met the marine that I’m will be attending the ball with.
I’m extremely nervous about what happens and I don’t look for to look weird in any way.
I also have never been to anything formal, I actually didn’t go to any dances for a while being that I moved around a lot. I am preparing to my first Marine ball morrow evening.a lot. I’m 21 and I can look young. Where will be was so incredibly helpful.
My boyfriend asked me to attend his Marine Corps Ball with him this year and has ld me that it’s formal attire. I wanted to know if you thought this dress fit the bill. I love checking out all of your dress options. Now pay attention please. How about to send me any pictures. Sounds familiar? You can always email me at danya@militaryoneclick.com if you don’t need this stuff spread on the internet. Considering the above said. My question is, I don’t know what to wear as the ball is approaching this year again. Thank you in advance. Seriously. I felt I was over dressed to see what ladies were wearing as if we were in a night club. So this page is very helpful, Know what, I was here for advise on what to wear to navy ball last year, I wore a grey V neck gown and it was beautiful with not striving to be appropriate while maintaining who I am. I considered going back to my natural color but I have determined that that seek for to go, and I do what I seek for.
Except my hair… Currently my hair is a very faded light 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.
Should I redye bold like I should normally do or should I soften it to more muted pastel colors?
He switched units a few months ago and found out that their Christmas/holiday party is their ball. Guard and while they have had balls in the past we have never gone. That’s interesting. My husby is Army Natl. You should take it into account. I normally don’t worry about how my hair is for a while 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 it’s a pleasure to meet you will work just fine. Just keep reading. You don’t actually ought to say much.
Marine Corps throws a spectacular ball!
You can practice in front of a mirror or with a close friend or even your boyfriend.
It’s okay to be shy and quiet. It really depends on the length of the train. I’ve worn two dresses to military balls that have very short trains. You don’t seek for to spoil your time by worrying about a train! It’s basically enough for ages the floor as you walk. You should take it into account. You WILL get stepped on and you WILL risk your dress being torn, if you go very much about this event that you are stressed. This is the case. Your friends are right. Just think for a moment. Everything may be fine. Now please pay attention. I don’t know how that will be received.
Thanks a lot!!
I’m worried about a few things though.
For the majority of the reasons above, To be honest I am considering not going. I may or may not be intending to National Guard Ball in May.

It’s essential to select a dress that matches the mood and ne of the evening at hand -in other words, So in case your school is having a barn dance, a formal gown another good way to go, as anyone who has attended prom in the past knows. 
You have to get a babysitter in the course of the ball since bringing kids to the event was not appropriate, if you have small children. Ask your unit if that’s an option. Female military spouses and dates should wear formal dresses either floor length or no shorter than just below the knee. That means your service member may be wearing is a cocktail dress or semi formal and is, traditionally, not considered appropriate for a formal ball event. Then, military balls are considered formal whitish tie events. Everything for the spouse is a matter of best practice, wisdom or, in most cases, simply tradition. Protocol rules are for the service member. That’s where it starts getting really intriguing, right? Mostly there’re no actual rules for military spouses and dates at military balls.

If you like, mingle with friends, visit the bar and, get in line for a photo with the professional photographer if one is provided. 
Now you would want to find your seat and set down in your chair whatever belongings you don’t seek for to carry around the reception, when you arrive at the ball. Photos likely are not free and you may have to sign up or pay in advance to purchase them. So it’s still a work event for your service member, military balls are supposed to be a fun celebration. Basically, while it’s a good idea to have fun, what that means is that, you shouldn’t get so drunk that you lose control of yourself, or that you perform a striptease on the dance floor.
