Dog tags hanging on the rearview mirror... blows my mind!! 

Re: for realz?

  • Welcome. 

    I actually put my SSN on my license plate so people wouldn't have to squint through the windshield.

    Welcome. 

    I actually put my SSN on my license plate so people wouldn't have to squint through the windshield.  

    I opted to go with a photocopy of my dependent ID taped right next to my registration sticker.  

     

    Seriously though, 2 of my closest military friends are both smart people, and 1 hangs their dog tags from their rear view mirror and the other keeps one on their keychain.

  • Ahh, you are brilliant!  
  • I wear mine strapped to my forehead like a head band, SSN side up, obvi.
    Shot first, questions later.
  • It's super irresponsible to keep dog tags out like that. I prefer to have a photocopy version on a tshirt. Much safer that way.

    Photo bomb, yeah!
  • I have blown up picture of them ironed on my ACU purse. What doesn't everyone do that?

    I hear that frequently, as I'm sure you can imagine.

    I have many leatherbound books and my apartment smells of rich mohagany.

  • This just made my day!  It seems as if I am in a minority around here.  I went out to dinner with a group of random friends.  I do not know them all through the military, but they do all happen to be dependents.  

    Out of 10 people I was the only one not wearing dog tags around my neck or on my keychain. One wife actually even commented.  I don't remember what she said exactly but it was along the lines of how I'm not supportive or proud if I don't wear them and how DH isn't something if he didn't give me a set to wear everyday.

     I can't speak for all their cars, but I do know the one that drove me had her hubby's hanging from the rearview mirror AND on her key chain. 

  • That must've been a baddass restaurant for women to be concerned about having their bodies identified!
