There are plenty of ex-military here, a few of them Marines. If you have a legitimate question about PTSD, you should look to a psychologist, not gun-board members.
I was gonna say, if there were a Marine here, they are still a Marine . Unless dishonorably discharged..."Is there a former Marine here?"
I thought is was "Once a Marine, always a Marine".
At least that's what Gibbs says.

Good heavens! I had no idea you were that...um...experienced in life. Now, I have to act all respectful and everything.SNIP How many here made lt through Parris Island? And in 1959?
Not a technicality. You call someone who was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps, retired or otherwise, "a Marine". If you are not a Marine, you call him Sir.If you retire from the Marines, you are a retired Marine. No longer active. That's what "Former" means. The technicality crap is stupid.
