  • You will be issued a complete set of I.D. tags in Basic that are different from the "goody-give away" from your recruiter. I think the Army was a "motivational" one and you can wear it, AFTER you finish basic. Check the Army's regulations and directives on the proper wear of the Army Uniform.
  • I don't know about the Army, but I never wore my Navy ones after boot camp and was never issued another set.
  • You better check with your CO. Jay was a Maine and was never allowed to remove his Doggies if he was in uniform. And they're definitly not worthless. This is going to be morbid, but if you go into to combat those are for identification for the medics and your toe tags if you die. And if they have to leave your body they leave one of them on you and take a dental immpression with the other so they can identify your body later.
