Dog Tag
Oct 23rd, 2008 by Alvin Chong
So, after waiting for a good 11 days, I finally received my dog tags all the way from the United States. In case you were wondering, dog tags are those tags you put on dogs for identification purpose. The dog tag that I am referring to here, however, is not that, but rather the military style ID tag. They are called dog tags simply because of their almost identical looks to the dog tags worn by the dogs.

Anyway, I got my tags custom embossed with wordings of my choice. I did one plate the US military style and the other plate with emergency contact information. You wear this on your neck with a beaded stainless steel chain. For the side silencers, you have a variety of colors to choose from. I chose black for authenticity.
These tags are originally worn by military personnels for identification purposes. Most of the time, these 2 tag plates are worn together. The chains are designed to break off easily. In case of any emergencies during war and the body could not be retrieved on the spot, one tag will be yanked off and the other will remain with the soldier.
Oh well, here is an authentic custom made military dog tag, for my use. ![]()
