I just finished boot camp and our whole division was disappointed that the Navy no longer issues ID tags (although they still give us the chain with a key for our locks). Even our RDCs were bitter about it. Does anyone have any thoughts or insight as to why the Navy recently did this?

When I went through last summer and graduated I literally took them off and theyve been in the pocket of my seabag every since. They arent a uniform requirement but honestly thats weird...

I was not aware they had stopped issuing dog tags. If I were to guess why it would probably be related to modern DNA technology. Which I believe is coded into your Common Access Card (CAC). When I retired in 2001 we still had the green DD Form 2 ID Card. The Form 2 did not have a chip. We had to show our dog tags as we boarded military aircraft.
Other than that I have no idea.

PO3 Jason M. - I am not arguing that it isn't. I'm just saying that the navy may have, in its ultimate wisdom, deemed them unnecessary for whatever reason.
