  • Name Tags NON ISSUE

    Lads these arent issue tags but they look good and there cheap. I have bought the Army green version for a few recruits who wont be issued them.

    Don't waste your money. You are supposed to be issued this item FREE!

      Unless they're identitical to the issue ones (or so close that you'd be pushed to spot the difference on an inspection) then you might as well just burn your money.

      Tell them to look on the bright side - the lad without nametags is less likely to be caught for something

        I have found that Nametags and Nicknames are the 2 worst things to have in the RDF. I have both so if an NCO or Officer who doesn't know me see's the name tag they ask me to do something. If they know me, the know my nick name and call me by that because it is so simple they always remember it!!

        However, I am quite happy to have both, especially the name tag, it looks better than the Velcro backing!!!
        I probably am wrong, sorry about that!!!

        Please PM me to correct me.

        But, not if I state an opinion, only if I state something as truth!!!

        I have bad opinions but I stick by them!!!

            Nametags are like Berets. You MUST have one.

                He's actually correct - terms of PfP or something, must have national insignia and
                nametapes on the uniform

                  During a recent Stand down Parade in S Brigade, anyone who did not have a Nametag was given one. Regardless of whether it was their name or not...

                      Cue the confused look as the star of the show during the inspection said to a
                      bemused Pte Bloggs:

                      "Keep up the good work, Pte Murphy"

                        Saw these on a UK website

                        The font and nametag style are very similar to the issued Velcro tags
                        - at least it looks similar in the photo, anyway....

                        If someone in Ireland would do the things, they'd make a packet, in
                        all probability...

                            With the velcro ?
                            And are they similar to the issued tag ?
