What's a tasteful military ball gown?

Are you sure that us a female? If so, I would spend more time on teaching how to dress at an event rather than showing how her poll dancing has paid off. Looks like trash, dressed like trash ...well if the shoe fits , wear it.

There is a time and a place for everything. This obviously was not the time or the place. Perhaps a momentary lapse in judgement. I can honestly say that before any official function/ball we have or participate in, I cover with our military members the proper etiquette of apparel. I especially let then know that if the 3 B's aren't covered then don't bother showing up. You and your plus one are representing the unit and our core values. I'm sure in this picture there was more "values" being represented. I would hope that a fellow solider, marine, airmen would've discreetly asked them to retire early in hopes of not drawing any more attention than they already had. Moot point now that it's on social media.

I can tell you that the "gown" in the picture doesn't qualify as appropriate for hardly anything.

Army is so fucken soft these days. If the bitch and husband wants to degrade her so be it. Stop being bitches there all adults and everyone has seen more skin than that, hopefully. Well take that back I had a pl who was a virgin. Cry about it

So, one an unrelated note, the dress is hideous.

More to the point, I've been in Guam (although the port is irrelevant if it's foreign) a few times during sub ball, and many people either don't have significant others, or just don't want to waste a couple thousand dollars flying them out. So who's on the chopping block? Strippers, duh. Now, to be fair, those strippers are usually pretty excited to put clothes *on* and attend a nice event, so they tend to be classy, but I can't imagine ANYONE being upset about it if they weren't.

And here I thought Marines might have a sense of humor. Silly me.

Completely tasteless. Yet we wonder why Soldiers and there families act the way they do...

This gentleman doesn't look very comfortable with the situation!

I'm feeling mail order bride idk

Not that!

Rank does not mean class, which they clearly do not have.
