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!

I was US Army. That being said, I thought the belief was once a Marine always a Marine. So it is my understanding, unless dishonorably discharged, that individual served as a Marine, so therefore will always be.

I'm USAF PERIOD. may join another to " lend some battle skills" but once you shed blood for something or someone it's a sealed deal in my book. However..... Its a personal opinion..... If your corps to the Corps than so be it.

I have no clue how a wife remarrying is even cool. Really? If he joined the Corp he is a Marine. But you asked would Marines give up the title once they joined another another branch? You telling me something?

They’ve earned the right to be called whatever their preference. Either way, Warrior blood exists.

Once a soldier is always a soldier
Once a marine is always a marine
Once a airmen is always a airmen
Once a seamen is........... you figure that one out..... jk
We are all in it together no difference.

I have had brothers who went to the Army after their time in the Corps, and they are still Marines. Once you've earned that title no one but you can take that away.
