Default Call Sign--Different for GMRS and Ham?

Let's say I get a GMRS license, then become a ham radio operator. Will
I get to keep the same call sign, or will I be assigned a different
one?

Thanks for your guidance.

Two different services -- two different call signs -- example
K6DAY is a Ham Call
KAF9118 is a GMRS Call

BTW KEV9506 was a CB call

So u use the assigned one on the band it applies to.
