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?

I served many years ago. I went to one of these. My date was a stripper who I met in a class at a local community college. She bought her outfit at a thrift store, and she was orders of magnitude more appropriate than that.

This is Not what I expect to see at a Military Ball. Their are regulations for every type of dress
the military has. For both service members AND civilians. In my old units, every time a ball was
announced they ( Chain of Command ) handed out a copy of the regulation for us the service member could show our other halves.

With a wife as elegant as yours, colonel, there would be no need for more.

That is not it. Lost my respect and I can only imagine that his wife is a cheating slut.
I would definitely let it be known if he was in my chain that his sense of decision making holds no ground.
