That is the first time he is entitled be be called "Marine." It is quite an experience I'm sure I will never ever forget-mostly relief heh. Some of the recruits are selected for promotion to the rank of private first class (a small group from several platoons within the series). All the rest are E-1 pay grade privates. The Marine label was all I cared about at that point, and the fact that I actually survived 12 weeks of boot. I sometimes doubted I had it in me. The Drill Instructors trumped those doubts with strict, stern, and sometimes painful instructions on becoming a man and a warrior. I will always be grateful.

They are called Marine, through out bootcamp they are called recruit. They are only called Marine after they have graduated bootcamp, until that point in time they are not worthy of any other title than recruit.

Marine.
Edited: The ranks vary. Someone could graduate a Private, Private First Class, or a Lance Corporal. But everyone graduates a Marine.

It depends - if you were of an ROTC program in High School or in the Young Marine Program you can graduate as a Lance Corporal - most however graduate as a Private or a PFC. First & foremost you are a MARINE.

During boot camp potential Marines are called "Candidates" or "Recruits" plus a lot of other things
After completing the final phase of their training and passing the 'Crucible', they attend their graduation where they are handed their Eagle, Globe and Anchor pins. From that moment on they are known as MARINE.

A UNITED STATES MARINE.
Once a UNITED STATES MARINE, always a UNITED STATES MARINE. There are no Ex-Marines (except those that dishonored the Corps), there are only FORMER Active Duty Marines.

He's called a Marine and he's in the FMF (Fleet Marine Force).
