The Marine Corps Ball is the celebration of the Marine Corps Birthday. Though the actual Birthday date is November 5th, different units celebrate the Ball on different days through out the month of November. The Ball traditionally starts with a Cocktail Hour, followed by a ceremony of traditional toasting speeches and followed up by a guest speaker. After the ceremony, dinner is served and the bar is reopened. Along with music being played for people to dance, there is usually a photographer present as well. It is a once in a life time occasion. Never turn down an invitation to a Marine Corps Ball.

Anyone can get cancer, whether or not they are in the Marine Corps.
Typically the ball lasts for about 3-4 hours. The first part is the ceremony, which is dictated by Marine Corps Order, and follows a set procedure. After the ceremony is dinner and general frivolity, lasting until the last people leave... usually to an after party.

This depends what squadron you are attached to. For example Mals-13 has had a few birthday balls in Las Vegas. Usually around the 10th on November.

Yes, Marines stationed on a Naval Base still have a Marine Corps Ball. The Marine Corps Ball is a traditional event that celebrates the birthday of the United States Marine Corps, and it is observed by Marines regardless of their duty station. The location of the base does not affect the celebration of this event.
