You've been to military balls. Like me, you've seen a wide variety of ball gowns. What is an appropriate ball gown? What is not? Can you give or show example?

This photo is older then you have been in the Army CPT. I retired 11 yrs ago and this photo was posted about 5 yrs before that.

Being Military and married to a CSM, I chose to wear civilian attire. This is so not appropriate. Sorry to say it is not even age appropriate for her. She is not 25 any more, let it go lady.

Well it goes to show that you have to be specific in the directions/rules of decorum at functions because you get this type of issue. Not the right time and place to wear but at the yellow ribbon ceremony for my unit at check in we kinda had some of the same issue and we had to set them straight

I would say that modesty should rule the event, and how you act (dance pictures) while there should be proper for the event.

CH (MAJ) William Beaver Sir, you definitely picked a winner. Over 202,000 views in a week...! I'm surprised more people haven't seen this photo. Nice post.

Very inappropriate, who can you blame more, the women who wears the dress to such a formal military occasion or the service member who brings her along?

She looks more like she was bought that night than a wife.. he must have got desperate and got her off the street.
