Does one have to get boutonnieres and corsages for a Navy Ball? Are they expected, tolerated, or a big no-no?

I have never once seen either of them on the civilians who attend.  They would not be authorized for uniformed personnell.

TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION\nWhat's funny my youthful decision at 17 to join the Marines to woo the girls in Dress Blues, even though I became an NCO and could wear the red blood stripe on my trousers and strap an NCO sword on I never had Dress Blues. Very very few Marines are issued Dress Blues and the rest who want them have to purchase them and since the majority of Marines didn't have them the guys would harass you to no end as an idiot if you sported one around the barracks. I sincerely believe very few Marines ever owned them, outside some  career Marines (lifer's) and some of those didn’t have them either or couldn't fit into them anymore, because of beer bellies.

Assuming you can catch already, buy some tacky receiver gloves. If you can't follow Carter's advice. I think what he meant though is thumbs together above the nipples and away below. I prefer thumbs together period. I don't look like a pro but I don't drop very many balls in front of me either. As for the elusive over-the-shoulder catch you're on your own.

So they don't look weird in bathing suits.  If you want them, get them.  If you don't really care that much, I wouldn't do any kind of surgery without really needing/wanting it.

Here in the states, florist shops sell them--if you have a pay-pal account or a credit card, you can access an awful lot of reputable companies, such as party planner-type companies, who would be more than willing to ship them to you! In fact, I could hook you up in my hometown here in Arizona. Go to eBay and contact 'azmegs'-just tell me whether you need them pre-aired(ship will be expensive,due to package size!), how many you want, if you want them personalized, what type(foil,with plastic sticks or with ribbon,rubber), what colors and approx. size that you would like and I will email you some different contacts and specifics. You can pick your pictures to put on them, lettering styles, etc. I have all of that info from when my friend had a custom balloon business!!Go over the top without thinking of the cost because that will allow me to get the absolute best pricing info for you and you can narrow down to fit budget afterwards! Basically, I do know that the few shops in my town are not very pricey, and one in particular is AMAZING in both price and quality and customer service!! It's only a matter of simple local phone calls for me and since I have a fax and used to design most of all the shops' Ads, To do that for you would be a pleasure and no effort at all and ZERO charge on my end---hope to hear from you!

Bring a team supporting winter coat, atleast the colors it doesn;t really have to be a true team one.  Have a blanket, and make sure to wear long johns under your clothes.  I am a football fan all the way!

Not to be mean but I wanted to give you a heads up and let you know that I believe frosted tips are out for guys.  You might want to change your hair and get rid of the jean jacket.  The earrings are cool though.  Do you have any other piercings?

For Ribbons  (and not medals) then you should have them 1/4" over your blouse pockets and centered.  Rows of 3 unless you have more than 5, then the bottom row will be 4 with the top row should be centered on the bottom.  There are ribbon holders for the US Military that can help with the number and placement.  Just make sure you have them 1/4" above you pocket.\n\nCheck the link below for the USMC placement. The Marines dont' allow ribbons on the right side of the blouse.  Some other branches do. \n\nBest of luck to you.

Did they register somewhere?  If so, pick out something from their registry.  That way you know you are getting them something will want/need.  \n\nI have given things like: flannel sheets, a bottle of champagne and a pair of candles, gift certificates.

The military does not get any money from you buying a USMC knock nack no mater where you buy it.  The globe and anchor is not trademarked (that I know of I could be wrong) but I am quite sure that there is no licensing of this symbol out so anywhere you find it will be good.\n\nThere is no such thing as a knock off in this category (or if you prefer they are all knock offs if they are not on the uniform).

That is a formal event.  Wear a nice evening gown with heals.  For a guy where a nice suit.  There is nothing wrong with contact the event host to verify how formal the event is.

Dont listen to this guy\n\n As a former US Navy Colonel, I think that I am qualified to answer this question.\n\nYou must be able to run five miles every morning in sixty minutes. You must also be able to swim, you must stand at least 5'7 but no taller than 6'9 and weigh no more than 340 pounds.\n\nYou can no criminal convictions unless they are misdemeanors or sexual offenses. You may not openly practice any religion that is not Judeo-Christian. This excludes Islam, Hindu, or Catholic. \n\nAlso, no one is accepted over the age of 65. \n\nThese are the minimum requirements.\n\nGood luck and Simper Fi! \n\nSource(s):\n\nRetired "Full Bird" Colonel, United States Navy. \n\nThere are no colonels in the Navy.  And everything in it is wrong.\n\nI am in the Navy and the requirements arent too bad.  You should shoot for about a 12 min mile and a half.  The Navy doesnt normally do 5 mile runs.  Pushups 45-50 is a bare minimum, I still have problems with that even though I do them all the time. About 60 situps is a decent low score.  The situps and pushups are 2 mins.  Talk to a recruiter for more details.

I got a Notre Dame custom jersey from Eastbay many years ago, it worked out pretty good.  Here is a link to Nebraska gear with a couple custom jersey options.

My wedding is in July too! Congratulation first of all! I'm sure you're so excited! I will tell you what I did i hae bridesmaids i know you don't but maybe you can incorporate some of these ideas and colors in your wedding. The bridesmaids are wearing like a bright green almost lime color dress. My maids of honor are wearing a bright pink not hot pink kind of magenta. So I am going to have the flowers the same colors as their dresses. I have lots of colors in my wedding. I think it's okay to go with lots of color! I have white,pinks,greens,yellows and some purple. It's all about what you like. You said you want red roses in your bouquet so go with that. Keep in mind that too much red and green will start to look like a Christmas wedding and it'll be July. Just go with your gut!
