I wish these numbskulls would get this right. Marine! Not “former”, not “ex”.

Not so long ago it was wrong to say "ex" and acceptable to say "former". When did that change?

It looks like former Marine is ok.

I wonder if any of the folks who spring on this on FR threads are, or ever were, associated with the Marine Corps.

I don’t know. That’s what Marines always tell me.

...to this Marine, there never was such a thing as “former”.
