There are two directives that address authorized uses of NAF for Birthday Balls. They are MCO P1700.27A (MCCS Policy Manual) and MCO 5100.31 (Marine Corps Birthday Ball Funding). MCO 5100.31 separates the Ball into Official and Social (unofficial) components. NAF is generally authorized and required for the social portion (cake, beverages and entertainment, non-active duty guests of honor), APF must be used for official guests (active duty) color guards and photography and printing requirements for the official ceremony.
