I’m not a Marine but....What is an “Ex-Marine”? True.Everything I've ever heard indicates "once a Marine,always a Marine".

This is a British rag and might not be all that familiar with American culture around this issue. But they are refreshingly not politically correct either.

What is an “Ex-Marine”? Here are my standards:
Active Duty Marine - A Marine currently serving on active duty
Marine Reservist - A Marine that is currently in reserve status
Marine Corps Veteran - A Marine that has successfully completed enlistment and/or commission in the USMC
Former Marine - An individual who, for what ever reason was separated on Other Than Honorable, or worse, circumstances from the Corps. In my book, this title also includes individuals who no longer uphold the values of the USMC in their personal and political lives; although some people would argue that point.
