Given how important tabs are in the Army, should a prior service Marine now in the Army have a special tab indicating their background?

One simple question and no disrespect intended but: If you are so proud of being a prior service Marine and it is so important to you that people know this, why didn't you just stay in the Marines?

From a Navy officer's point of view: yay, yet another tab.

I don't see a reason there should not be a tab for former Marines. If you have specialized background, they have a tab for that. If you come from me specific unit, they have a tab for that. Let the Marine Corps background or others stand out.

Hell brother, change is a bitch, but you'll always be a Marine, the fact is your working for the army and as such conduct yourself as an Army soldier

Nope. You changed branches. If you want people to know you're a Marine, you shouldn't have joined the Army.

I see a lot of Army only people don't like it. I get that. God forbid you have to admit Marine Corps Boot Camp is above and beyond what Army Basic will ever be.

I like the idea. I have a few friends that have gone into the Army after the Marine Corps and they have all said the same thing.

I have several friends that made the switch from the Marines to the Army and I guess if you can get a ribbon for throwing a grenade then why not have a pin or ribbin or something showing your prior accomplishments!

Just curious, why?
Seriously just why do you think being a former Marine deserves a tab in the Army?
On the other hand go for it and the Marines become another tab/badge to collect. Silly crap all the way around.

What next? A badge for prior Air Force, Navy, Boy Scout, etc? The Army is the Army, and we learn not to base initial impressions on just the rank. Just be yourself, work hard, and doing the right thing is what I tell my Soldiers. It shouldn't be like that, but it is. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt, until they show me differently.
