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 do not care what branch of the armed forces you are in are was in. When you took that oath you signed that blank check. I retired in 2003 and to this day if the Army said we need you I would go without hesitation. I two wives the Army and my wife. I am a soilder for life.

All other branches have to go through Marine boot camp but Marines don't. I will always be a Marine.

Once a Marine...ALWAYS a Marine. No o e can ever take that title away no matter what branch you join. It wasn't given, but earned. Just my two cents.

No they should not! They can't! No one walks away from ever having been a United States Marine. Their Marine Corps experience only enhances their opportunity since the traits and characterics of leadership were ingrained, into their souls through the extreme vetting of Marine Corps training at PI, SD & Quantico. When they put on their new unifom their very and bearing presents enhances their new branch of Service.
