I thought there was no such thing as a "former" Marine. :)

The cliche is that there are no ex-Marines but that's an urban legend:

John Glenn, Brian Dennehy, Ron Kovic, Ron Dellums, Clayton Lonetree, Lee Harvey Oswald, James Carville and Mark Shields are but a few who have earned the title ex-Marine.

Old Marines never die; they just go to hell and regroup.

(They also are guarding the streets of Heaven's scenes)

No such thing as an EX-Marine, unless he's disgraced himself. My CFI was a Marine, and instructed me to say former Marine.

God bless Drew Carey - he's one of my favorites.
