Religious preference (or "NO PREFERENCE") or medical allergy if its a red tag

(Red tags are almost always for an allergic reaction to medicine specifically penicillian)

Army:

"blank"

Yggdrasa Has the right answers. Sounds like a former Marine to me. And all the others can KMA, too.


Yggdrasil
I had all of the previously listed stuff, plus a little piece of tape that I put on the back, stating "Bury me face down, so the world can KMA!"


EDIT FOR JOSEPH: Nope, former USAF SSgt & Captain

The guys above me are right, but if you are buying some from a store don't put your real SSN on it

Why would you be making military dog tags for yourself if you're not military? They're really not that cool.
