This question is for all RallyPoint members, active, reserve, guard, vet and retired!

Do you wear your dog tags daily? Only when your deployed? Only since you got out?

In my own service it is unusual for SM's to wear their's daily. Often they are kept in the mobility folder.

I did when I was deployed, and overseas, but not stateside and I do not now. But my husband wears a specialty one I bought him with our children's photos etched on them and he has his tattooed on his arm. (He was a Marine)

I used to wear one in my flight boot lace, that's what we were taught in the mid 80's escape and evade class during the SAC era. Besides that I never wore them.

I wear one of my old dog tags incase something happens to me. Also have two medical alert tags on same chain. One as a diabetic insulin warning and second as a blood thinner medication warning. It is also in memory of those that are still serving, those that served, our wounded and those that gave it all and didn't return to us alive.

Wear 'em everyday. Im a mechanic so at times I must take them off but I put them in my pocket. But new AR/DA PAM 670-1 changed so it is required to wear them regardless of what previous reg stated.

SPC Stephanie Oanes Same question I asked the other person who does this. You are not concerned with having your name and specifically you SSN on view for the world to see.

They Must really have to be up on my car in order to read such tiny print, plus my car is tinted 25% on all windows and I have the tint on the top of the windshield. So no, I'm not worried.
