Dress requirements:<br />

<strong>Military</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> dresses are described as knee length or longer. Dresses that are knee<br />

length in one area and longer in another are fine.<br />

Dresses that are described as "short" or "mini" are inappropriate. Dresses that are<br />

short or mini in one area and longer elsewhere are inappropriate. Dresses that are<br />

short or mini with a "see-through" layer over it are inappropriate.<br />

Slits in dresses will not be above the fingertip measurement when your hands are<br />

at your side and your shoulders are relaxed. This is just a guideline, so if this<br />

measurement does not cover your bottom side then the dress is obviously too<br />

short.<br />

Coverage: No two-piece dresses of any kind and no revealing large cut outs.<br />

Backless dresses must be cut above the waistline. Plunging necklines are<br />

inappropriate. Please make sure private parts are adequately covered throughout<br />

the process of enjoying the <strong>Ball</strong>. Dresses that are too revealing when sitting<br />

down, bending over, dancing, etc. are not appropriate.<br />

Using these criteria as a guide, here's a website to help you find some acceptable<br />

(and unacceptable) ideas: http://www.grandgown.com/2013-evening-dresses/?p=2<br />

See MSgt Stephanie Poe if you have questions concerning appropriateness.<br />

<strong>Military</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> dresses need not be expensive. The gown website in the package<br />

is to help you identify appropriateness; not how much to spend. Stores such as JC<br />

Penny and Kohls have appropriate dresses that don't break the bank (especially<br />

online). There are other websites as well--shop around.<br />

Many females wear the same dress each year, trade off with friends, purchase one<br />

from Goodwill (Bridal and Formal Shops, as well as individuals donate last year’s<br />

fashions to Goodwill), or see Ms Woods (Vocal Music) who has dresses to save<br />

on expenses.<br />

FLOWERS: A corsage or boutonniere is not worn with the <strong>AFJROTC</strong>/military uniform. They<br />

are appropriate when wearing other clothes at a <strong>Military</strong> <strong>Ball</strong>.<br />

DINNER: Three course meal: salad, choice of chicken or beef, chocolate mousse and cake,<br />

water, ice tea, and coffee.<br />

Cadets must tell their teacher their meal choice (chicken or beef) by January 31 st .<br />

Cadets with non <strong>AFJROTC</strong> guests must tell MSgt Will Poe what your guest will eat<br />

when you purchase your ticket (NLT February 8th).<br />

DOOR PRIZES: Yes we have them! We try to have one for every cadet. We need cadets to<br />

help us get them.<br />
