Need (detailed) info. Can someone tell me what information (and in what order) you can find on dog tags. Or just a screen cap with readable dogtags from Stargate?

[livejournal.com profile] audrich asked a similar question recently. I don't remember where I found this, but here's the response I gave to her:


US Military Dog Tags have been the same for all Armed Services since 1959 and bear the following information:

- Line 1 : Surname
- Line 2 : First Name & Initials
- Line 3 :
SSN - Social Security Number and Blood Type
- Line 4 : USMC or USMCR and Gas mask size
- Line 5 : Religion preferred
in whole words : BAPTIST, CATHOLIC, EPISCOPAL, HEBREW, PROTESTANT, NO PREF, and etc.
The USAF is slightly different in that the blood type is on line 4 along with the gas mask size. For example:
CROEW
JAMES D
123-45-6789
O-POS USAF-L
NO PREF
