Whatever you end up doing with your relationship with this girl, you need to find out the name of the Marine and report the death threat to the police and the Marine Corps, preferably his First Sargent or CO. His First Sargent or CO will "counsel" him which may prevent him from carrying out the threat. The police report will put you in the role of good guy if the "counseling" doesn't work, he comes after you and you kill him. It is of utmost legal importance for the police to see you as the good guy if something does happen.

Second, sparring with a Marine is not the same as being in a life and death struggle with one. A year or so ago there was a story of a Marine who was stalked by four gang members who had a shotgun and a pistol. The Marine had a Swiss Army knife. He killed at least one or two of them, injured the others and ended up with the shotgun and pistol. You don't say whether this Marine has been in combat or not but regardless, they are trained to kill by the best. While you seem like a guy who has been in enough scrapes to be able to handle himself, remember this guy has been trained to be a killer.

Third, my son-in-law is a Marine and from the discussions I have had with him, I think he would agree with the following. While I completely respect the Marines for their sacrifices on behalf of our country, some of the young enlisted men do not yet have the highest moral character, they get into trouble over women, they don't use their brains and they can be very dangerous. This guy appears to fit perfectly in this category of young Marine.

So don't underestimate this guy!

As far as your girl friend, she obviously told the Marine your name or gave him enough information to figure it out. If she won't reciprocate by giving you his name, she does not deserve you or your protection.
