I first joined the Army and after my enlistment, I joined the Marine Corps. I no longer call myself a Soldier, but a Marine. Should former Marines give up the title of Marine once they join another branch of service? It's analogous to a woman taking the name of her husband, then once the marriage has ended, she re-marries and takes her new husband's name. Me, I'm married to the Corps!

If you want to be married to something you own the title. If you cannot handle it and give it up you can no longer call it yours. Sorry you are not a marine any longer. You gave up the right.

Maybe you should go back on time and ask President Harry Truman what he wanted to do with the marines.

No you earned the title. If a marine goes to another branch he or she dose not have to go through boot camp but if you go into the marines from another branch you have to go through boot camp.

I don't know about how Marines are trained today but I was well brain washed and once a Marine always a Marine. 6 years active USMC 30 years Reserve, NG and active Army. Still consider myself a Marine

Once you are a Marine you couldn’t change it anymore than you can change your race
