My Unit made everyone attend the Marine Corps Ball this year so I had to go when I should have been home on leave still. I had a great time with my friends even though I didn't have a date. A plus of going back is the battery is letting me go to Pennsylvania for a month to work in York. Excited about that.
essence:
Congrats and the ball sounded like it was a blast. I have been to a Rigger Ball before. It was the most fun I had ever had. Good luck with everything.
