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.

Yes, everyday. I guess it became a habit and it gets put on along with my watch, POW bracelet, etc. Good thing too, otherwise I'd probably forget them.

They've got our DNA, tags were looped on the belt in the back pocket.

I carry my dog old tag on my key ring. Several years ago, I lost my keys in a snowbank. Come spring, someone found them, saw the tag, said to themselves, "I know this guy!"(It was a small town) and I got my keys back after going crazy and getting copies of all the keys made. (Hint: Make a copy of your keys and keep them in a safe place at home. I also carried a copy of my car key in my wallet. I used it once in the pre-OnStar days to get me back into my locked-out-of car.)

I will occasionally wear my "dog tags", usually on Veterans Day, the anniversaries of my enlistment/separation, and other significant (to me) dates. Or if I just feel like it...

Yes I do wear them, in fact everyday, however they bother me when I wear body armor, especially since I have the ARMY VALUES tag on there and one other from HH06, so I total (4) four dog tags on the two chains.

Yes, I wear them everyday. I only take them off at night because they tend to choke while sleeping. I always wore them in the Nav for the obvious reason that you can't talk while unconscious or dead. Even as an electronics tech they didn't dangle because they were in my t-shirt. The last 5 years in the green we didn't always wear uniforms, have IDs or tags. I wear them now (15 years retired) because they're close to my heart where my brothers in arms are. I have actually worn out a few chains.

I haven't gone a day without wearing my dog tags since the day they were given to me and I've been out for 3 yrs now
