Marine Corps Ball 2013

Of all the events we attend which are military related, the Marine Corps Ball is my favorite. The ball is a formal event held to celebrate the Marine Corps birthday on November 10. This year the Marine Corps celebrated 238 years. Now that is some history!

I love getting dressed up, eating a nice dinner, and dragging my Marine out on the dance floor. I love seeing everyone all dressed up, Marines and guests alike. And I love sharing this night with our Marine Corps family. It's always a night to let loose and have fun!




I think it is pretty standard that military units/squadrons/commands have a mascot. Can you guess what ours is? And can you guess what wildly popular song has become the theme song?

I also wanted to extend a personal invite for you to join me and my bloggy friends for a special Thanksgiving Project we are hosting. The Thanks & Giving Project officially starts next week (Nov.18-23).

  7. With hubby and I both AD, we don't do the AF ball. I refuse to wear the women's dress uniform. I look ridiculous and I'm not shelling out the $$$ for the fancy one. You looked fabulous! Jealous.
