Everyone who has earned the Eagle, Global, and Anchor knows that being a Marine isn't something you do - it's something you become. No matter how long you stay in the service or what occupation you pursue afterward, you will always be a Devil Dog first. As such, our staff has compiled a list of 21 suitable jobs for leathernecks who have hung up their uniform.

1. Marine soldier—Couldn't get past Lance Corporal but still want to deal with police-calls, sleep deprivation, and pointless fuck-fuck games? Join the Army and enjoy being treated like a child for a few more years! Also, expect unending grief from your comrades who stayed in the Corps. Lengthy PowerPoints also included.

2. Marine airman—A worthy option for those who want the camaraderie of the military but don't want to carry a ruck. Benefits include air-conditioned buildings, BAH and BAS at E-4, and hotter women.

3. Marine national guardsman—If you pick this option, be ready for your teammates to tune you out because you constantly talk about how you "did things differently in the Corps."
