USMC Security Guard Detachment, American Embassy (name the capital)
If you were AF, and not a member of a USMC Security Guard Detachment, then you didn't earn the right to wear the shirt.
Just another form of stolen valor.

Wearing commercial merchandise ALL of the branches actively market to anyone and everyone is not the same as stolen valor. What a silly comment.

I happen to know ax. You need to back off my FRiend. He would never steal another mans honor. I don't know how much service you have seen, but ax has a sleeve full indicating his time served.

Every embassy at which I served (where there was a Marine Security Detachment) sold the shirts to every one who came up with the $25 or $30. I was not a member of the Marine Detachment but I WAS a member of the embassy’s staff. If the Marines didn’t want us to wear their shirts, why would they sell them? I occasionally ran with the Detachment in Havana, running down 5th Ave with them, wearing the shirt. I feel the same way you about those who steal valor. My daughter bought a USMC Security Guard polo shirt back from Kabul after her last deployment.

Come to a Navy home football game on a nice warm Saturday in September, and you will see Marine jerseys on very attractive young ladies whose chests, I am pretty sure, were not the result of doing pushups.

Look, both of you guys are fakers. I was a United States Air Force SEAL Submariner, in the Tanker division of the 101st Airborn NORAD detachment for the Marines, and we participated in the Helicopter Invasion of Canada in the War of 1812 with Teddy Roosevelt on D-Day.
