Yellow Ribbon Ceremony and confused about what to wear.?

Sorry to bother you but...

My boyfriend's brother invited me to his yellow ribbon ceremony because I couldn't make it to his bootcamp graduation. Ive been trying to find out what is the correct attire to wear to this because he told us it was formal, but when I look it up, a lot of people are dressed casual. Like school graduation casual. I don't want to be over dressed and I don't want to be under dressed, but I know my boyfriend's family has a tendency to dress over the top for no reason. I picked out black dress pants with a black and white dress tank and I have a light sweater to wear over the tank top (Its inside) and a pair of heels (flats just incase). Would that be okay? Ive never been to one before and I don't know anybody who has been to one of these. If you have been to one please help me out. Also, We're from New York so I don't know if that makes a difference because most of the videos I watched were from places like Oklahoma and New Mexico and Pennsylvania and a lot of them were dressed as if they were going to a High School Graduation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    First thing first. You care what others think about you. The fact that your perplexed is good, but come on. Dress how you feel is right. If it's a T-shirt, respectable short-shorts. Your dressed how it's best for you. I hope comfortable. I advise not to wear something that's to loud or has some political spin to it.

    Being what I be. It annoys me to see how politics is so, so sickening. I shed blood, sweat, and tears for this ****! Some payed some, but few did pay all. Respect, since I know that freedom was never free! The media sickens me and sorry if I tend to rant on how much they disgust me.

    In the end, I hope you find balance. I hope that you dress appropriately for this "horse and pony show."

    Source(s): I was prior USAF myself in POL or Fuels. I was, what I was. Now that I'm medically retired. I didn't do 20 + years to be retired. Like it or not. I payed what I did and salute the brave souls who payed all.
