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 don't now as a vet and I didn't wear them according to reg when I was in. I wore them on my belt loop tucked into my pocket because I was allergic to the nickle they are made out of.

I had my dog tags on my person every day while I was active duty.  Now that I am a vet, I have not worn them once.  They are stored away.

Given my job (aircrew) I'm not allowed, by AFI, to wear them while performing my duties in the jet. I do, however, have one in my boot laces. I will probably wear them once I leave operational flying for good. (Hopefully though, that's a long way down the pipeline.)

When I was on active duty, TSgt Joshua Copeland, I wore them all the time. Even when not deployed. Since retiring, though, I have stopped wearing them.

@Msgt Rob Weston, same reason why I have one in my car and get two of each of my boots when deployed.

MSgt Rob Weston I do the same when riding my motorcycle. What type of motorcycle do you ride? I have a 2015 CVO Road Glide Ultra that I picked up this year as a retirement toy for myself. Traded in a 2012 CVO Softtail Coveritble. Hey, I sent you an invitation to connect!

I have two sets of dog tags from my time in service. I am saving one for each of my boys to give when the time is right.
