Should former marines who join another service give up the title
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’re married to the Corps then you should have stayed, if you are in the Army you are a Soldier whether you like it or not, there’s no choice.

Well, with due respect, in spirit of one team one fight, except for a few hours in December when Army beats Navy on the football field, I see no reason why one who earns both cannot be both... and proudly.

Title, Marine, once earned is forever; unless taken away by Court Martial
