No recognition is given to a prior Marine that switches over to the Army. I wear the Ranger tab that I earned in the National Guard. I do not feel a tab should be worn for being a prior Marine on an Army uniform. It's not that I feel it's the worst idea in the world or anything, but I think the recognition should come in other forms. I feel that when it comes time to promote a prior Marine he or she should be awarded automatic points for their prior service in another branch. That is fair.
