National Guard ball?

[blondemoment123]

I still know very little about the Guard. I'm so used to USMC life!

Does each unit schedule their own ball? Is it typically celebrated around the Army birthday? What uniform would H wear?

So many questions!

My husband has been in for just over 10 years and none of the units he has been in have had a ball.

I was in the Reserves. We never had a ball. However, as an MP, I was able to attend the MP ball at Regimental HQ in MO, if we chose to go. I didn't really see the point of going to MO from GA just for ball.
The only thing my unit did was a Christmas party where we were all required to wear our uniforms and the dress code for family was semi formal.

Another ARNG wife here, have never been to a ball nor has there ever been one. We don't even have Christmas parties for the family.

Our state does a joint ARNG and ANG ball every two years or so. I went to the 150 year one and I knew almost no one. It sucked.

Well darn. I know for sure H's unit is doing a Christmas thing so at least I have that to look forward to
