Cadet Ball
Well I just got a date to the Cadet Ball and I can't wait. I love the Cadet Ball and it is probably the second best thing about being a cadet. Please feel free to post any Wacky, crazy or just plain out funny stories about the Cadet Ball's you've attended.

I went to two cadet balls as a Sea Cadet. One of those times I was awarded a medal for being selected as my unit's Cadet of the Year. I'll definately remember that night because of how honored I was to be selected for the medal.

It was my Sophomore year (my second military ball) and I had no date so I pulled a usual me and started taking other people's dates. I found this one girl, beautiful little thing, and started flirting up a storm with her, it was great, we danced and I went to go brag to my friend. As I started describing this girl to him, he just nodded and smiled and goes, "Black and white dress, blue eyes, brown hair?" I told him yeah, thinking he must've seen me. And he throws a curveball, "Oh you mean my girlfriend?" and I just kind of stood there, dumbfounded...I just looked at him laughing his head off, and I had nothing to say. It was embarrassing, he still gives me a hard time for that one.

Are you cadets allowed to wear a Mess Dress uniform to your balls or do you just go with Full or Service Dress?

Why did you drop JROTC? The date hasn't been set yet for my Counties Ball.

I was just wondering. Some Sea Cadet officers are able to wear Mess Dress, but most don't have them unless they've set aside money or their unit offsets the cost.
