Does an enlisted who becomes an officer still wear his service stripes?
As for the Marine Corps I can say no. Once a Marine is commissioned or warranted as an officer, their uniform will change all together. The only thing that will remain the same is his/her ribbons/medals. Even the material of the uniform changes to a more thicker wool type (not sure of is actual make up) material. The "Blood Stripe is thicker on the trousers, the emblems are made a different way and they loose the red piping. In some ways the uniform looses some of the fancy looks and it gains some new ones. As a prior enlisted Marine who turned to the Warrant Officer ranks, I can definitely tell you there is a lot more maintenance that goes into the officer uniform as well as the cost of it. Hope this answers your question.
