I have taken it Twice.oljames3 wrote:"Support and defend" ... I've lost count of how many times I took that oath; enlistment, re-enlistments, promotions, commission. Maybe 10, give or take. Can't even begin to count how many times I administered the oath. Many others here can say the same.

And there is still no expiration date on that oath.
Once for a Marine Corps Officer program (which I didn't complete)
Again for PPD on November 18, 1978.
and like oljames3 said: there is no expiration date.
I carry because I am STILL a sheepdog and the wolves need to know I still have big teeth.
