Wore them every day until I got to the boat. Then, only for formal inspections (our COB considered them part of the uniform). I still have one of the original two, but have it stored in a box with my other "I Love Me Wall" stuff.

Only when ordered, or when in school, or transit, or on a combat patrol. I miss the ole days where we laced them into our boots, that made the most sense, we would tape them to subdue them. Not sure why they made so noisy and shiny. Probably many a dog tag that foiled an ambush.

i wear mine all the time. they serve multiple purposes for me. I have a medical tag on mine so if something happens to me they have my allergies on them.

Wore them when in the field and deployed...when in garrison kept them in my back pocket, attached to a belt loop, couldn't stand them snagging/pulling chest hairs, even with the 550 cord cover on them. Now they hang on the wall with my other stuff.

I carry mine on my keyring I have for the last seventeen years since I got out. While in I wore them around my neck 24/7

I keep a set in the truck in case of surprise PAI, but other than that, no I don't wear them daily.

I haven't worn dog tags on a daily basis for more than ten years despite being on Active Duty. I did not even wear them while deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. I just don't like the way they feel against my skin.
