I was wanting to wear my Dress Blues to my dads funeral. He is also a Vet but was in Army in Korean War as 101 Airborne for 1 year there. e was also 82nd initally when he signed up when he was 17 after he did basic. I assume to wear my "B" Blues and only ribbons. Would I wear shooting badge also? Is this right?
And Dress Blues A for the Marine Corp Ball. Was hoping not to take off badges.

Yes bravo is the correct uniform. Ribbons and badges.
If you are no longer active, make sure you are within proper regs as well.
May your dad rest in peace.

You are also authorized to wear a mourning band on your left sleeve midway between the elbow and shoulder. If you can't find one at the PX, it is a dull black ribbon about 2.5 inches wide and is held on the uniform by a safety pin hidden on the inner portion of the sleeve so not is not seen. My sincere condolences over your lose.
