Registration question: Are you a Marine?

[greybeard]

How many of you checked that box when you first registered here, even tho you haven't been active duty in decades? I know I did, and I guess admin changed it for me later. It just seems un-natural not to check it. Perhaps it should be re-worded.

Once A Marine....Always A Marine.......

You will carry the title Marine until the day you die. Not sure if the title transfers beyond that.

I agree with Roger and Sixguns that Once a Marine.......Always a Marine and if listen to The Marine Corps Hymn the title goes
beyond this World.
We will all live on as Proud Marines!!!
Yes I am a Marine.

I was always under the impression I would be a Marine till the day I died-then, I would be reclassified as a dead Marine.
No one answered my original question tho

I have adopted VETERAN Marine, a point I received from our beloved web site here. To me, 'Former' still had that 'ex' feeling to it.

GreyBeard:
If your profile got 'unchecked', then re-check it.

Maybe try pressing the keys HARDER.... put some emphasis into your selection (lol)

Always means FOREVER, never ending, as in the Alpha and the Omega. After all, if we will find

'the streets are guarded by UNITED STATES MARINES'

then that kind means forever to me. Even after we meet Chesty.

Marines do not go to hell........Satan is afraid we would overrun the place and take charge. lol Besides, if I remember right, we had a marching cadence that ended in " Another Marine Reporting, SIR. I've spent my time in Hell.

i've been a Marine since 7 Dec. 1950, does that answer your question? Semper Fi - Billsan yes i checked that box

[greybeard]

I'll correct this fubar immediately. Ah just figured I screwed up and someone corrected it for this old coot.

Some of US were Squids so that made it easy. Problem I never spent much time with the Navy more then 65% of my career was with Marines :bandit:

We all became Marines when we crossed the Parade Deck. Till we die brother. Check the box.

I still remember my Senior Drill Instructor S/Sgt Largent saying congratulations you have all proved your metal and now may use the title Marine, no one can take it from you, its yours until the day you die. In you our fallen brothers live on and the Corps lives on. Former, ex, and veteran just dosent fit into what he told us at graduation.
