The U.S. Marine Corps was so flattered that Bugs Bunny decides to become a marine in the Supper Rabbit film (30 April 1943) that they insisted that the character be officially inducted into the force as a private, which was done, complete with dog tags. The character was regularly promoted until Bugs was officially “discharged” at the end of World War II as a Master Sergeant.
