ID Badges

Is it improper to wear only one id tag?

I have only one id tag and two red medical tags. Is it improper to wear only one regular id tag and two medical alert tags, or should I get another regular one made to complete the set?

1. They are issued in pairs to help identifiy your corpse in the event of a worst case scenario.
2. Yes you need two ID tags one on the long chain and one on the short chain.
3. you should have 2 dogtags around your neck and one in your left boot.
4. Better get another id tag just in case.
5. yes , you must wear both tags one on the short chain and one on the long. Nothing else is authorized on id tags chaind except, warrior ethos emblem, and the patron st christopher (airborne) and one religious medallion.
6. By regulation, you are only required to wear ID tags if: you are deployed overseas You are taking part in a parachute jump you are not required to wear them at all times (as some dumb NCO's say) Just go get a replacement set, they are pretty cheap
7. You should have 2 ID tags and 1 Medical red tag on Just inform your Training NCO and he'll do the paperwork to have new ones issued to you
