Name Tags

[snip1]

Hi guys, a quick question for galway people maybe even any PDF that know galway. Is there any good place i could go to get name tags for uniform made. I have been in the reserve for 6 years and have never been given name tags and just sick of not having them

Not sure about Galway, but there is a crowd in Dublin that does them...Silverstitch? Go to their website and click on the "contact" section, it shows name tags there. I'm sure they'll post em. Not sure about prices though

Not in Galway but Textile Print & Embroidery in Limerick also do them. They don't advertise them on their website but if you ring them, they will do them, also rank marking etc.

Silverstitch are 3 for €16.

Or you could go to this guy:

5 tags at €5 each (€25). He'll do 5 different names if you want, so you can split an order between people. Got mine delivered free of charge the day after I ordered. Order early in the day and he'll stick them in the post before the last post goes. Very friendly and polite. He doesn't do rank markings though.

Also, ask your Q beforehand about it, sell him the idea, and get reimbursed for it.

Well, this won't happen, for the very simple reason that this is an issuable item,
and SHOULD be readily available

Chances are that it's the CQMS is the bloody problem, not doing his job
properly

Make a record of all the times you've asked the CQMS about this, then if there
is no resolution, then you would be perfectly entitled to go to the next rung on the
chain... bloody ridiculous it would have to go to this extent for a name tag, though

[Buck]

Agree with TD. You should not have to pay for these.

My last CQMS had a novel solution. Because the ordering process was so slow, many of those that had ordered nametags would have left the RDF by the time the tags arrived. He would retain the nametags, and issue the nametag to those without for inspections etc where nametags were required.
As long as nobody called you by your nametag name, and wondered why you ignored them, there would be no issue.

Irish solution to an Irish problem, eh....

hehe that's brilliant

[Goldie fish]

It worked. Everyone had a nametag for inspection, but you remained anonomous.

Or that other great RDF/FCÁ tradition; passing it on to the members of your family who joined after you.

I remember doing a guard of honour for a former Chief of Staff (Sreenan), one of the guard had no name tags and was only recently finished their 2* training. So the person gets a lend of name tags and 3* rank markings.
Murphys Law dictated that the only person he stopped to talk to was the 2*. The professional way in which the person lied through their teeth still makes me smile.

Chief "so private murphy, how long have you served", Private Murphy "6 years sir". Chief "do you enjoy it, what type of courses have you done?" Murphy "advanced tactics, 81 LBLM and 84mm A/Tank, thinking of applying for the NCO's course next year sir"

Not bad for someone who was only doing their third week of FTT, back in the days when 6 or 7 weeks were possible.

I can't think of the name maybe someone on here mite know it but i remember looking at nametags before, actually got mine was looking for a friend 5 years in and still no nametags... they did name tags in dpm? i don't think it was pro-tac but afaik they are the only company allowed to reproduce the irish pattern, other than syntex who make the clothing
