OK Nick, just so I know what I'm up against, could you just educate me on your dog tag number. See up until the late 1970s US dog tags had your ID number with the letters RA in front (as in Regular Army) or whatever your designation.
However, seeing as it's not likely your a Vietnam Vet, you'll have the current issue, which is your social security number.
So what's the US56.......... number or whatever it was you quoted? Please correct me if I am wrong. Seriously, don't want any fake Marines turning up when they come down south for training.
The training down South is teaching them how to bend over to pick up the soap in the shower.
