The Marine Corps Ball season is just around the corner!
Time to get prepared and look sharp for the big night. Here are some must-know tips to make sure your Dress Blues are on point:
✅ Plan Ahead! Don’t wait until the last minute to prep your Dress Blues. We recommend getting your uniform dry cleaned and pressed at least two weeks in advance to ensure you will look your best!
✅ Stop by the MCX Exchange! Inside the Main Exchange, you'll find a fantastic dry cleaning and alterations shop that knows how to handle Dress Blues. Keep in mind they usually need two weeks for turnaround, so drop off your uniform early!
✅ Don’t forget your accessories! When you drop off your dress blues for cleaning, be sure to keep your ribbon rack, medals, and belt with you. Keep those important items safe!
✅ Uniform Zone Assistance! If you need any accessories or help with your uniform, you’re in luck! Right across from the dry cleaner is the Uniform Zone. Stop by and don’t hesitate to ask the friendly MCX sales associates for assistance, they’re here to help you look your best!
The Marine Corps Ball is a cherished tradition that brings us together to honor our history and celebrate the Corps' birthday.
Let’s make this special night memorable by dressing our best! Semper Fi!
