One of the most popular events for both Cadets and Cadre alike is the annual Military Ball.  Held in the Spring each year, this formal event allows the Cadets to learn about the customs and traditions the Army has in relation to Dining Out.  Contracted cadets wear their Dress Uniform and those who have not contracted wear civilian attire befitting the occasion.  All Cadets are invited to bring a date with them to enjoy the evening of food, drink (for those who are of legal drinking age), and entertainment.
