You know a lot of prior service Marines join the Army but are there a lot of prior service Soldiers that join the Marines?
It does happen, but I don't think it happens as often as the reverse. When I was in MCT(Marine Combat Training) in '99, we had a former Army SSGT who came through with us, he was a Lance Corporal(E-3)at the time since the Marines don't really carry over rank, but he did gain Corporal by the time he left the 2.5 week course. otherwise, in 4 years I never came across any other former soldiers. I have met numerous soldiers who were prior service Marines, and seemed quite successful at it.

The Army because they give out ribbons for practically anything.
