For me, I would forget the black tie and go with the chrome orange in the regular/slim line. Beauties are great.

Except for the fact that this is a military ball, and ROGERSON785 will be wearing medals, maybe it would be better to avoid the "Carnival Cruise" look...

You are correct, if I was not wearing my 20+ years worth of medals, then the orange bow tie would be appropriate, but wearing the orange bow tie seems like it would distract from the seriousness of the whole affair, besides, the medals have so much color I see no reason to add more flair to the ball. One thing for sure though, I can guarantee, and would be willing to bet a bottle of 18 year old whiskey that I will be the only kilted NCO there,

I'm not a bow tie wearer. I've only ever worn one and that was at my wedding, so they seem to bring bad luck for me. Would the thicker tie have a tendancy to stay above collar rather than have that dreaded half above and other half below collar look?

Then I shall bet that be the finest looking NCO* in attendance.
And if no officers are in kilt either then you'd be a shoe-in for the best-dressed award.

For a nice enough 18 y.o. intoxicant you may find a "sailor on shore leave" throwing on his kilt and "bling: making the drive to Kansas and crashing your party  
hmm, road trip....
