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 just found mine with my Zippo. I'm not looking at them but I think my social security number on it. My dad kept his on his key chain though.

I haven't worn my dog tags since I got out. I still have them, and I used to keep one on my key chain, but I haven't even done that in a while.

When I was in I wore mine daily. Now that I'm out they hang above my daughter's bed.

I wear mine everyday. I feel like at any time I am subject to an inspection. It is a required component of uniform. I think there are rules and policies for a reason. I mean AR670-1 was publicated for this specific reason. If I always have all my required clothing, gear, etc.. I'll always be squared away and not have to worry at last moment. I feel like the younger soldiers have a problem with military procedures and etiguette as it is. So do the right thing, wear the proper uniform and you will be succesful. I mean it may seem trivial .. You say oh just dog tags... Like everything else starts out small and turns into taking shortcuts in in every aspect.

I don't wear them during pt because (chain + chest hair = pain). I wear them the rest of the time though.

haha dog tags... I had such a bad habit of breaking those chains in my sleep.... In the Army, I wore them everyday, except during combatives. Now that I am out of the Army, I do not wear them. I always thought people who wore them after getting out were attention seekers.

Only if they wear them on the OUTSIDE of their shirt.
