A good friend of mine is a former Marine. After he got back from Nam, he joined the CHP and served for 30 years. He retired a few years back and bought a beautiful Ultra Peace Officer edition. Tried to join the nearest Marine MC and was told, "Sorry, no cops or lawyers welcomed." Hell of a deal.....
My "Christian" MC doesn't allow LE patchholers either...
I wear a big Globe and Anchor patch on my back....Marines always like to stop and bullshit about the Corps....and the patch draws 'em in. I have riding friends that were in the other branches and they're always amazed at how much Marines want to talk about their experience in the USMC. They could be a 19 year old Irag veteran, or some old jarhead from Iwo Jima. There really are no Ex-Marines.
I'm very sure the same brotherhood exists for the other services....but they're much bigger, and I believe their members identify with particular sub-units of their respective services; Seals, Air Cav, and Rangers are examples.....and I absolutely mean no disrespect of anybody that's donned a uniform for this country.
The Corps is definitely an institution that changes your life. But I'm not much for joining clubs....but to those that like it....more power to them.
Semper Fi to my Marine Corps Brothers & Sisters

Yes, there are cops who are sons of the Living God... However, LE is barred from patchholder status in our club. If you were or are part of this world you'd understand why. It doesn't make us any less "Christian" to discriminate against certain groups or people or even employment status.
Dam I did'nt know the Marines were that smart hehe.
Dont think the LEO's are allowed by whatever force they are on or retired from.
