Normally, no. If you retired honorably or were discharged for medical reasons, you can wear the uniform on appropriate ocassions.
***Actually former Marines may wear their uniform in additional to those who retired. The Marine Corps Uniform Regulations (MARINE CORPS ORDER P1020.34G - http://www.marines.mil/news/publications/Documents/MCO%20P1020.34G%20W%20CH%201-5.pdf) states the following:
Former Members of the Armed Forces. Unless qualified under another
provision of this Order or under the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 772, former members who served honorably during a declared or undeclared war and whose most recent service was terminated under honorable conditions may wear the uniform in the highest grade held during such war service only upon the following occasions and in the course of travel incident thereto:
(1) Military funerals, memorial services, weddings, and inaugurals.
(2) Parades on national or state holidays; or other parades or
ceremonies of a patriotic character in which any active or reserve United States military unit are taking part. 'Wearing of the uniform or any part thereof at any other time or for any purpose is prohibited.'
Similar wording is also found in the Marine Corps Separations Manual (MCO P1900.16F)

How do you get in the Marines from the Air Force?
You EAS out of the Air Force and join the Marines. You have to go through Marine Boot Camp, all 13 Weeks of it, but you get to keep some of your ribbons from the Air Force, and if your a high enough rank in the AF, you can graduate as a LCPL. See your nearest Marine Corps Recruiter for details. If you have a specialty that that the Marine Corps is begging for, some after Boot Camp special consideration may be considered in your contract.

My son is currently on delayed enlistment to join the USMC. The stories he is getting keep changing. Can he approach a different branch of service for his active duty?
The Marine Corps is pretty much the easiest service to gain entry in,because they usually get the toughest jobs.The Navy,Air Force and Coast Guard would be much tougher to get in.So unless the Army would let him now there's not much else to try.
Does the USMC have a rule about the number of tattoos on their body for new enlistees?
In general, the Marine Corps does not want more than 3 - 4 small tattoos on a recruit or Marine. There are times when a waiver may be given. Full sleeve and ostentatious tattoos are frowned upon, and may keep one from enlistment. Part of the reasoning behind this is for safety of that particular Marine and his or her fellow Marines.
