U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Dog Tags, modern mil-spec embossed stainless steel.

The Coast Guard stopped issuing dogtags to its service members in the 1970's, however they can still be optionally worn concealed when purchased privately through independent manufacturers like MyDogtag.com.

The Template below uses the same format as modern Army Dog Tags. You may optionally consider adding USCG after the service number.

To assist with making replica regulation Coast Guard Dog Tags we have created a template that automatically formats the information to the era-specific layout. Alternatively, if you have the original Dog Tags in-hand it may be easier to just recreate them directly on the Dog Tag Maker page, or just email us us a photo of them and we can do it for you.

Our Modern Dog Tags set includes:

• 2 x Military grade personalized Stainless Steel Dog Tags.
• 1 x Long 30" Stainless Steel Ballchain necklace
• 1 x Short 4.5" Stainless Steel Ballchain (toe-chain)
• 2 x Optional Rubber Silencers in assorted colors and camo patterns
