Can you wear a Navy Seal Trident on Marine Corps Dress Blues if you rate both?

If you originally enlisted in the Navy, passed the screen test, made it to BUD/s and passed. then you passed the SQT and got your SEAL trident, then re-enlisted in the marines...I'm sure you could still wear your trident since the Marines are a department of the Navy. But some Marines might think of it as disrespectful since Marines don't look for recognition of their hard work, and if you have a SEAL trident on, your basically broadcasting you're a badass. not too humble there. Was in the teams from 1969 to 1980. We did have a guy that had been in the Marine corp, served in Vietnam and then got out, joined the navy and became one of us. Later he got his college degree and became an officer in the teams. If he sees this, I hope that he knows that Beaver Grant was always proud of him, even though I kicked him that one time. This is the only case of this kind that I could imagine.
