My younger son says there is no such thing as a “Former Marine.”

Never heard of this site.... I’m waving the bullshit flag. I served two tours with the 2nd Marine Division, Camp Lejeune, NC.... ‘77 - ‘80 and ‘86 - ‘89.

Sounds like someone’s been watching the movie “Heartbreak Ridge”.

Once a Marine, always a Marine. Never use the term ex-Marine. But I think former is OK, short for former active duty.

I never heard of it before either, one of the reasons I posted the story. Also, thank you for your service. My son reports to Parris Island Oct. 17th for boot camp. He is very excited about it.
To: lafroste
I retired from the Corps twenty years ago this past July 1st.
My “Twilight Duty Tour” was MCRD, Parris Island. A wonderful place where I personally witnessed the transition of great American young men and women into the ranks of the world’s finest fighting orgaization.
With all the silliness on the Amercan Academic Campi today, your son is going to get “the education of a lifetime” .... something he will NEVER forget.
You should be proud. “Semper Fi!”
