Do you ever get worried going swimming with everyone within eyeshot being able to write down your name and social security number?

The body tag thing just sounds like a tattooed invitation for identity theft...

The tattoo is the same size as a real dog tag and is far enough on my right side that you'd have to get real close to read it.

You can steal my identity. You aren't getting very far with it!!!

I also have the meat tag tat on my right rib cage. I thought about the whole "stealing of my identity" issue too, but as with the 2LT they'd have to be gettin reallllll close to me in order to see anything...and trust me when I say that NO stranger will ever get that close to me without catchin hel l or my fist

I think dirtyjudo was referring to the flag and the U.S. Army/name tapes being shown other than you would see them on ACU's. i.e. U.S. Army over right breast...
