Okay, you have your date or friend group that you're going with. You as the guest are in your formal attire. Lets get this party started! (Every year and in every venue its the same setup, same ceremony, and same food)

1845-1900

You show up to the venue with your date. The ball room is set. There are about a dozen round tables draped with a beautiful white table cloth. There is a round red and gold table cloth in the center of the table. On it sits two pitchers one with water and the other with iced sweet tea. In front of each seat is a set of silverware for each course, a wine glass, a water/tea glass, a pamphlet with tonight's events, and a neatly folded napkin. Each section is sat with each other. A chair left empty next to your Marine for you of course.

Usually the Commanding Officer or Executive Officer will put money down for everyone to get one free drink. The venue offers two bars. Both the lines are a bit long but you can just chat while you wait. There plenty of people to be introduced too and everyone is saying "Happy Birthday" to each other. If you're stationed in an allied country like Japan there are guests from their military as well.

The bar has a wide variety. Wine, shots, mixed drinks, and juice if you arent drinking. They even sell cigars. You and your date get your drinks and socialize. You get to meet their peers and squad members. This is also the time to take pictures! You walk towards the entrance of the venue with your date. There is always a professional Photographer waiting. The American flag and Marine Corps flag are proudly displayed in front of a royal red backdrop. The backdrop has accents of gold.

The photographer asks if you want their pictures or just on your phone. You both pose and smile. The pictures came out amazing. Your Marine will take some photos with their shop and then you'll head back into the venue. Another drink?

2005

Man that hour went by fast! The five minute warning has just been called. You and your Marine go to your seats and wait for the ceremony to begin.

2010

The ceremony starts. Everyone is seated and quiet. There's always one rushing back to their seat from the bathroom. (You can watch a full ceremony from last year here but im going to summarize it. Im speaking from my experience overseas but the video is stateside Marine Corps)

The band does their introduction segment commencing the start of the ceremony. The march forward turn and march back. Next comes the sword detail. There are 4 pairs that walk through. There are both Enlisted Marines and Officers in the sword detail. They march in pairs to their position and once are all in place the Commanding Officer, Sergeant Major, and XO march past the sword detail to the front of the stage. Everyone stands when they walk by to show respect. Next comes the color guard with the American Flag and Marine Corps flag and two rifles march onto stage. Everyone stays standing to honor the colors are they pass. The National Anthem is played followed by Anchors Away and then the Marine Corps Hymn. Which every Marine sings!!

The cake is then marched onto stage while the band plays. A traditional speech is made. Then the CO cuts the cake with the NCO sword giving a slice to the guest speaker. The another slice to the oldest Marine. The oldest Marine takes a fork full and passes it to the youngest Marine for a fork full. This symbolizes the passing of traditions!

After that the color guard marches off stage followed by the cake detail and oldest and youngest Marine. The CO, XO, and SgtMaj exit the stage. Then the sword detail. The guest speaker will then give their speech and then the birthday message will play. I have it linked below. It was fire this year!!

2110

The ceremony ends and the bars open. Half the Marines there rush to the bathroom and the other half to the bar. The venue staff start to bring out a shrimp cocktail appetizer. After 15 minutes they bring out a salad. Then after about another 15 minutes they bring out the main course. There are four options chicken, steak, fish, and vegetarian.

2200 - 0130

The dance floor opens. You are free to leave at this time if you want. The venue service starts clearing off the tables and the DJ starts playing music. Marines go outside to smoke cigars others hit the bar for the 4-5th time. The dance floor gets crazy. The CO will even bust some moves on the dance floor. Medals come off so no one looses them (Plus they are so freaking expensive) and everyone has fun till the venue closes.

I hope you enjoyed your ball <3

Happy Birthday Marines!! Semper Fi

The Classic "Uh-Oh Only One Bed" Scenario With the Colonial Marines

Headcanon - Reader x USCM - SFW

AN: Thank you so much Anon :) Enjoy :)

Pvt. Drake

He immediately chuckles at the situation.

He makes a joke about sharing the bed but makes clear he will take the floor or couch (if one is in the room).

He will set up his bed elsewhere unless you clearly ask him to share the bed with you.

If that's the case, cuddling will most likely ensue.

Pvt. Vasquez

She immediately rolls her eyes and insists on a game of rock-paper-scissors to see who gets the bed.

If you try to keep talking after you both have made your beds, she's going to get annoyed and tell you to stfu because she's trying to get some sleep.

Especially if this is during a mission or any kind of intensive days, she is not going to want to mess around, whether she likes you or not. She knows how important a good night's sleep is.

Pvt. Hudson

Immediately does the sarcastic "ooooooo".

If the bed is large enough, you're sharing. It's not like he has creepy intentions, but if there is a full or larger in the room, it doesn't make sense not utilize it fully.

While you both act like you're really trying to sleep, you keep egging each other on with jokes or flirting.

If the flirting escalates, you're both probably going to end up making out like horny teenagers.

Cpl. Hicks

Hicks is such a gentlemen, he does not even allow a discussion over who takes the floor. He immediately insists on taking the floor.

If you manage to talk him into sharing the bed (because it is large enough), he will insist on making sure you are completely comfortable with the arrangement.

He is very considerate and makes sure to stay on his side of the bed and not to hog the blankets.

Lt. Gorman

At this point, he apologizes constantly for the mix up or mistake in sleeping arrangements. He immediately takes the floor even if the bed is large enough.

There is no talking him into sharing the bed. He will just thank you for your concern but insist you both need sleep and that is the end of the discussion.

Goodness, there isn't enough love for the US Colonial Marines out there (and I've looked!) so I'm loving all of your headcanons! I did see the one you did for Hicks and autumn/Halloween, which was so cute... would you be wanting/willing to do a headcanon for the Marines with a SO who is alllll about the enthusiasm for the Christmas holidays and getting into the festive activities? (If not, that's perfectly a-okay!) 💛

Let me give it a try, it's been awhile and I'm hella rusty so excuse that. Also, I'm drunk af. Again, sorry.

US Colonial Marines Dealing With You Being A Huge Nerd About the Holidays

Headcanon - USCM x reader - SFW

Pvt. Drake

Drake is all about being aggressively prepared for the holidays.

He can get a little too into neighborhood decoration contests.

He goes out of this way to make sure you both have the best decorations on the block and establish holiday dominance.

He is 1000% Clark Griswold about the holidays. His love language is effort and the Holidays are his way of putting in the work for his loved ones and the perfect Christmas.

Also, he prides himself on making the best hot chocolate and made a point of saving his grandmother's secret recipe.

Lt. Gorman

Gorman is absolutely the type to stress himself out about getting you the perfect gift, like to the point that it is messing with him if he doesn't feel confident about the gift.

He gets nervous about doing any of the creative processes involved with the holidays, like decorating. He largely leaves you to the planning of it while he supports and does what you feel is best. Decisions stress him the fuck out and he trusts you. Whatever you end up doing he thinks is amazing.

While it stresses him out immensely, when it goes right, it makes his year.

Pvt. Hudson

Hudson can be really dense. He definitely can let the subtleties go over his head which can be stressful.

But at the end of the day, he has good intentions and is very sweet.

He definitely says low-key inappropriate shit in front of your family. But after they get to know him, they love him regardless of him being rough around the edges.

He might get you a really dumb gift but usually the thought behind it is actually so sweet.

Pvt. Vasquez

Vasquez isn't big on Christmas. But if you're into it, she goes along with it, even if it isn't her thing personally.

She isn't the biggest fan but eventually the spirit gets to her. Whether it is the 15th cup of hot cocoa or a really great night by the fire, eventually she gets a little into it and enjoys herself.

She loves cuddling by the fire and how you know how to make her cocoa just how she likes it.

The way the holidays affect you is what she loves. She loves that you want to make her feel included and special.

Cpl. Hicks

Hicks is definitely someone who thinks Christmas has become too commercialized. Charlie Brown hit him hard as a kid.

Yet, he still loves the holidays, he's just weary of the commercial aspect. He doesn't entirely see the point of expensive decorations and gifts, but you do prove him wrong when you turn the front yard into a Christmas wonderland.

He wants to focus on family largely and prioritizes time over novelties.

He loves watching old Christmas movies and is a master at hiding presents and Christmas surprises.
