Marine opinions, Please.

From a British point of view,if you are not serving in the unit, then you don't wear the badge.Even a retired member of a unit would only,perhaps,wear his badge on Rememberance Day.

I think my fellow Marines will agree; Unless you've lived as a Marine, served as a Marine and sacrificed as a Marine, you should not wear the symbols that we earned as Marines.
I would never dream of passing myself off as a clergyman, fireman or police officer.
I have little patience for "posers".

I am making the assumption that you are a former Marine or present Marine.

Having said that, the colors don't really look right, but that may be a problem with the camera. Th knit cap, looks a little, well inappropriate.

I wouldn't do it, but I guess it's OK.
