Protocol Information
This event is a lot of fun. Civil Air Patrol and military personnel attend wear appropriate dress uniform. A Tuxedo or Dark Suit for men or a Prom Dress, Evening Dress, or Ball Gown is perfectly suited for this event if no uniform is available.
Guests wearing civilian attire will dress as follows:
Women : will wear a formal evening dress or gown, it should be knee to floor length and tasteful. A Prom Dress, Evening Dress, or Ball Gown is perfectly suited for this event.
Men : will wear a dark suit (tuxedo is optional, no "khaki's").
Receiving Line
Receiving lines are located at the entrance. Some people tend to avoid the receiving lines, this is a "discourteous action".
The first person in the line will be in charge of announcing the names of the guests (usually the commander of the hosting event).
They do not shake hands or carry conversations, their job is just to introduce the arriving guest to the next person in line.
Posting of The Colors
Once everybody has been introduced, they go to their tables to wait for the entrance of the colors. Individuals in uniform should remain at attention and face the colors at all times during the presentation. The colorguard posts the colors once indicated by the commander.
POW / MIA Ceremony
This is a very solemn ceremony conducted to honor those (men and women) who remain missing in action or as prisoners of war. A table is set in the room for all to see and remember them.
Toasts
Before dinner, the toasts are done to honor national leaders, senior uniformed personnel, and guests. Also a silent toast is performed to honor the prisoners and missing in action.
Dinner
No special rules here, only proper dining etiquette.
Guest Speaker
A distinguished guest is asked to address the assembly of personnel. This person usually has some connection with the armed forces.
Dance
Following the dinner, the colors are retired and the Dance begins.
