It is great to see news programs moving toward anchors with real life relevant experience, particularly as overseas foreign correspondence. America need to start looking to the outside world for its inspiration and to see its self in the global context and TV presenters such as Rob Morrison makes this more likely. Once you have lived outside your own country for a period of time you have a whole new perspective on America’s place in the world.
Although currently co-anchoring the morning show Rob has also worked on the weekend edition and has been with the channel since 1999. I for one hope the rumours of his departure are over hyped.

You may not know this but the term “ex-Marine” is reserved for people who were dishonorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps. Thus it has a negative connotation. One of the Marine Corps mottoes is “Once a Marine, Always a Marine”. I still consider myself a Marine even though I left active duty about 25 years ago. The proper term to use is “former enlisted Marine” or “former commissioned officer Marine”. News organizations in the US are frequently guilty of this faux pas so it’s a common mistake.
Curious - no Ididn’t know that - and I didn’t use the term implying disrespect. I know ex-Army people in my country (we don’t have Marines) and they call them selves that ex-Army or ex-Services.
That’s OK Lissie. I wouldn’t expect you to know so that’s why I explained it to you. Even the conservative Fox News screws it up from time to time and gets mail about it and they should know better.
love ROB
