Once you're a Marine, you never leave. Not even when you're too old, too broke, or too drunk.
My uncle still wears his old Marine hat even though he's been a drunk for 20 years.
My sister said I was still a Marine even after I got fired. 'You're a Marine forever,' she said. 'Even if you're fired.'
My dad still does push-ups every morning. 'I'm a Marine,' he says. 'I always will be.'
