Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night Marines.
Thank You very much for your replies, your input is what thrives me to do better, every day. So, from what I understand, I can wear the support, or "ad" gear, as long as I don't lie about it and say that I'm actually in the Corps, which I don't see why I would do that if I'm going for the title anyways.
Well, as always, you have been very helpful. I wish you the best, and if there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.
Cheers

Thank you very much Staff Sergeant.
I'm currently in the process of getting my green card. I moved to the US from Stockholm, Sweden during the summer of '09, with one goal in mind, to earn the title of "Marine". They won't let me join without a green card, so I just have to wait, for now. I've asked many different Recruiters if I can get, at least, a shipping date while I wait for the green card, this way we will save more time so that I won't be turning 30 when I step on those yellow footprints. So far, no luck. My days, basically, is all about PT'ing and getting that 18:00 time on the 3 Mile Run. I work at a MMA Gym as the Supply Manager, so I have plenty of gear and room to help me along.

Did the old man claim to be a Marine? If so, I'm somewhat surprised, as you see that we don't have a problem with you wearing it as long as you don't lie and I would hope don't behave disgracefully while wearing it. Especially if you are trying to get here to get in.
If he was not one of us however, we should all consider the honor a "civilian" paid us. A non-Marine in an liberal country telling someone they have to earn the right to wear that name. THAT IS AWSOME.
Especially for those of us who got a less than warm welcome home in our own country back in the 70s.
Did I misunderstand something here?

I stowed all Marine Corps memorabilia in a drawer the second I began talking to a recruiter. I knew full well that in time, I would have earned the title, and be able to wear those items as a Marine. When I got home on the 5th, the day after I graduated, I layed them all out (along with some seriously motard tees I bought at the Marine Corps Merch. store at MCRD xD ) and have been wearing them since.

Okay heres my thing with this. My now ex bro-in-law is a Marine, my father is a Marine, and 3 of my uncles are Marines. I have been sporting a high and tight since I was in 5th grade and wearing Marine Corps Tee shirts since I can remember. Its just a shirt. I would correct someone wearing a Marine Corps uniform if they weren't Marines, but not a dang tee shirt. Your right its like supporting your favorite team, and there is nothing wrong with that. Thank you for your support and the pride you have in wanting to become a Marine.

Thank You very much for your input, Marines.
Knowing that my question is getting answer by the best, and not by some 12 year old on yahoo answers, is a honor.
Thank You

In the last episode of "Ultimate Fighter" UFC president Dana White was filmed wearing two different Marine Corps sweatshirts. Now that is effective target demographic advertising.
