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.

If marines are no longer stationed on ships why are they called marines when the term naval infantry would no longer apply?
Marines still do deployments on ships. They are called MEUs or Marine Expeditionary Units. This is a very common and ongoing thing in the Marine Corps. They are basically with the fleet as a presence just in case s*** hits the fan, then they are deployed into the s***. In essence, they are still considered naval infantry.
Do other countries have a marine corps?
Many have Marines.... not a whole corps worth, though. In some countries, they're referred to as Naval Infantry.
Why did the marines separate from the navy?
They didn't. The two forces both operate under the Department of the Navy and have a close relationship. Marine forces often provide security on Navy ships, and many Navy ships have Marine units stationed on them (including an air wing) on a semi-permanent basis. Certain "behind the scenes" jobs, such as chaplains or medics, are filled in the Marine Corps ranks by Navy personnel because the Marines don't train those positions. These personnel wear Marine uniforms with Navy insignias. Marine officers are trained at the Naval Academy, and Navy officer training includes some training by a Marine Corps drill instructor.
Who were the very first Marines?
The first was Captain Samuel Nicholas who was commissioned to create the Marine Corps 5 days before the legislation to create the Continental Marines was passed by the Congress. At least by tradition, the Tun Tavern Proprietor Robert Mullen was his Marine Recruiter and the first Marine to be made a Sergeant. The Royal Marines with Reserves totals only about 8,300 men and dates from 1664. The Netherlands Marine Corps dates from 1665. The Russian Naval Infantry has existed since 1705. That handles the US Marine Corps, but there have been marines in earlier times and surely the Phoenicians had them hundreds of years earlier for both internal and external security.
