Military Christmas Dinner Party

Among military officers, the use of calling cards and the paying of social calls on superior officers is still customary; a good explanation of calls and the use of calling cards can be found in the Service Etiquette Student Handout (.rtf file).. The current military calling cards are 1.75 by 3.25 inches and are always plain white pasteboard. For company grade officers (Second Lieutenant through Captain) in the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps, and for junior officers (Ensign, Lieutenant (Junior Grade), Lieutenant and Lieutenant Commander) in the Navy and Coast Guard, the rank is shown above the service title in the lower right corner. For Naval officers, the type style should be relatively plain as fancier typefaces are for use by senior officers. - Military Etiquette

I couldn't get a Cinderella picture but I did get a Sleeping Beauty picture. She was very excited but very tired after being escorted by Daddy to a Military Christmas Party. And, in true Military fashion, she was delighted to take her "3 year old" calling card and place it in the bowl.
