Military ball! So fun. One of my favorite things about dating an ROTC boy in college. That and the uniforms (oh, and that he would be the boy I married)! It's not just an ROTC tradition but a military tradition.
Photographed here, the MU military ball circa 2002. How young do they all look?!
The tradition of the military ball has been going on since the beginning of ROTC programs nationwide. They begin with a receiving line, always a little nerve racking. Followed by the posting of the colors (flags) and the MIA/POW ceremony. They have toasts, a guest speaker, dinner and then the dancing begins! A little like a wedding and a prom all rolled into one.
