Yep, there's just something about Marine Pride that is both envy and awe inspiring. My step-son served in the Marines and then did a stint in the Army followed by becoming a Law Enforcement Officer. His attitude is basically: "Once a Marine always a Marine but once a soldier's enough." Personally, I find Marine Pride infectious and I start to feel the same way about being in the Navy "Once a Sailor, always a Sailor" even if no "official" has said so!!! I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that every Marine is somehow made to feel a Marine though not every sailor or soldier does? -- though some do!
