Yes, I think all Branches have them. I was told that the Marines keep their bread for throwing and not eating. (Probably a rumor) I guess if they don't like you they butter it before they throw.
The balls I went to usually have a guest of Honor, and a guest speaker and a ceremony of Posting the colors and a military band that you might find surprisingly good. They sometimes have several toasts so if you are a non-drinker you should make sure you order a coke or fruit juice before they start all of that. The Army's Artillery Punch is something to see them make. The ceremony for the POW MIA is very touching.
Have fun

Yes, but I think the Marine core makes a bigger deal of them than they other branches.

yep, the Navy has them too. Depending on where you are stationed they can be a really big deal or not so big.
