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 wore them on AD, and then usually just those times when it was required (i.e., inspections, deployments, etc.)
Do I wear them now? No. I'm out.
IFF I had some kind of disorder [such as diabetes (where I might fall into a coma), or seizures], where it would be beneficial for people to know something about me (such as medical condition, blood type, known allergies. emergency contact phone #), I might wear dogtags with that info, but they would not have my SSN on them.

I always wore them and still do. I have to now since I have so many red ones. Been to a couple of places that messed me up a little but still rocking.

Since day one of being in the army I have been told that they are a part of my uniform just like my ID card. Whether they are around my neck or attached to my belt loop I always have them on. Even when in civilians I have gotten called out for being "that guy" that is always showing off he is in the military even though you are off duty. They have become a part of me.

I carry them in my back pocket, never around my neck. Regardless if I am deployed or not, if I'm wearing body armor or jumping I am not wearing the tags. They are irritating and I just avoid that issue all together.

Yes almost everyday. I'm a deputy and there is always that chance I may need someone to know my blood type if I'm unconscious.

Sometimes I may take them off around the house or for PT but normally wear them all the time.

I guess I am in the minority in this, but I rarely wear mine.
It started with the fact that when I had to do desk work I tend to lean in against the desk and my dog tags tend to be at that exact spot, which hurt. So I'd take them off and then put them back on when I got up.
Now they sit in my car ready for SRP.
In other ways I break the rules, I still iron and starch my uniform.
