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.
