Prove me wrong but I thought you were a Marine the rest of your life, even if you get buried in Arlington...

We can't help how reporters writer their articles up.
Look, not being a smart a$$ here, but this has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to become a Marine or boot camp.
ALL Marines know..."Once A Marine, Always A Marine".
It’s Official. Once a Marine, Always a Marine!
Marines, listen up! The Commandant has spoken!!!! No more "former" Marines!!
CMC's Planning Guidance:
It begins with the Commandant's Priorities, then his Planning Guidance follow, and is in turn followed by some very important information, important to all of us. A quote from the Commandant, General James F. Amos:
"A Marine is a Marine. I set that policy two weeks ago - there's no such thing as a former Marine. You're a Marine, just in a different uniform and you're in a different phase of your life. But you'll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico.
There's no such thing as a former Marine."
