You will never hear a US Marine refer to himself as an ex-Marine. It’s always Former Marine. I don’t really remember the semantics of it, but that’s the way we do it. Yes, and once a Marine, always a Marine :-)
I call myself a jarhead to take the bragging edge off of it. We also go by Devil dog, Gyrene, Teufelhunden, and Uncle Sams Misguided Children.
I’m waiting for you to come back after listening to the audio, my brotha ?
Long time lurker on TDW, recently found this forum, was tired of the doomers. I have to come to the defense though of the former Marine issue, from the time I was in boot camp, and on we were always told there are no ex-Marines only former Marines. This is my first comment ever, but felt it needed to be heard.

Hey buddy, appreciate you staying frosty here. Cannot be too careful.
See my other comment on a very easy way to resolve this.
