Should former Marines who join another service give up the Title?

Ex Marines are just military grade snowflakes.

The statement many of my Marine Corps friends would say is "once a Marine, ALWAYS a Marine.". Now if you reenlisted Army ( or anything else for that matter) I wouldn't run my mouth about being a Marine... Great way to start a fight or have a senior NCO make you try and do push-ups till your arms fall off

I earned my Eagle Globe and Anchor and the title Marine.

I deployed as a Marine, I bled as a Marine.

Once a Marine, always a Marine.

I'm one of the FORMER MARINES and very proud of it.I did not go into the Army but the USAF.Being a Marine was special and joining another branch does not take that away.Why a person went to another branch is different for each person.I wear my USMC hat as well as my USAF ones.I earned my title.As a Former marine I did not have to go through USAF Boot and for a good reason.Marine boot is the hardest and one is very proud to have made it .No other service Boot can compare.USMC 1956-60/USAF 1960-1979.Those 4 years in the Corps helped me all through the rest.

There it is, the dumbest thing I've read today. I enlisted in the Corps and shipped off to bootcamp Sept 1988 and, due to cuts, EAS'd in march 93....fast forward nearly 9 years later,fourdays after 9/11, I joined the Army. Myself and several others who were considered too old for the Corps....I have always thought of myself as Marine....even after 15.5 years in the Army I consider myself a Marine first, then Soldier. Because I was out for so long the Army had me go through basic. Fort Knox was a cakewalk compared to MCRD SD.

SFMF and Army Strong

When I left the Corps and went in the Army, I said at my going away once I was awarded my Navy Comm that although I'm taking off my uniform but one thing that I will not take off is the Eagle, Globe and Anchor because regardless of what uniform I wear or what branch I join I will always be a Marine and that's all I got to say

no, you never lose a title that you earned, also the only reason youshould ever leave one branch for another would be for increased opportunity, ie. medical MOS or for use of better equipment.

Tons of EX marines in the National Guard.

I was 10 years a Marine and 18 years a Soldier. I am proud of my service in both. I never fail to greet Marines with Semper Fi ! and every fellow Vietnam Vet with Welcome Home ! Still Once a Marine, Always a Marine.

I may not have been a marine,but I was a solider every branch of service is family but a marine never stops being a marine
