Jacktar - I know he is not alone, I was light-heartedly referring to an earlier statement he made:
Hypothesizing of course, that if the single, currently-identified Wiccan was to fall, who would know what to do with him?

lol, let me re-word that. I am NOT the only Wiccan in the forces, but I am the only Brigley in the forces.

Found this, but I don't know the source:

Interesting to note that the previous designation MUS (Muslim) has been replaced by ISL (Islam).

A Muslim is the person; Islam is the religion.

I wonder what reasoning led to the change?

For more info, here is the official book for the Padre's (and the rest of us really):
http://cmp-cpm.forces.mil.ca/pub/rc/doc/rc-eng.pdf

It does not have the abbreviations, just some brief background on the recognized religions/sects in Canada.

DWAN only so far.

FYI, Wicca starts on p.117  ;D

Also for more information regarding changes to the CF's policy on religious accommodations:
http://www.cadets.ca/regions/eastern/CANFORGEN_162/12_-_RELIGIOUS_ACCOMMODATION_POLICY_FOR_THE_CF/

This is the updated Canforgen until the new DAOD can be finalized and released. However, until then I was told the list of religions I posted earlier is authorized for use on the Identity Discs by the Chaplain General's Office and Identification Services HQ in Ottawa. Many bases have already adopted the new list for use. Greenwood did after I passed this information on to the Wing Chaplain and the OR's.

Another tip for anyone with ezcema would be seeing a specialist for it, & get a cream for your hands. my father had the same ezcema problem with nickel, & a combination of cream along with gloves kept the skin on his hands from cracking & peeling.

Yes, you should order a new set of tags through your Unit Orderly Room.  In the mean time, just band the two parts together with an elastic band or tape which should hold you over until the replacements arrive.

thanks a lot.

I received a new dog tag, however I can't figure out the religion on it: "SAR". Anyone knows what it is? I am an atheist, so it's weird that I didn't get the "NRE" mark. What do I do if the marked religion is incorrect (not mine)?

Thank you

SAR is Salvation Army

Incorrect dog tags are returned, destroyed, and new ones printed. Just inform your section commander/immediate supervisor and they'll get you to fill out a new order form.

Then you wait!

Does anyone know what metal the tags are made out of?
I have a contact nickel allergy. Worried that wearing the tags could cause  reaction

Also Reply #427,

I know this may seem like a really stupid question but...

I am allergic to all metal except for 18k gold, Platinum, or Titanium and I know dog tags are made out of steel, so my question is am I going to broken out in hives for the rest of my career or do they have extenuating circumstances for people like me?
And before anyone suggests it I have tried the clear nailpolish trick and it doesn't work.
I don't know if I can get a set of platinum tags made and get them so engrave all the info.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance 

P.S. If this question has already been answered I am sorry... Tried searching for it but didn't find anything close.

You can get plastic 'covers' for the dog tag part...for the chain around the neck, I've always just taken a piece of paracord and stripped the guts out and ran the chain thru that. 

No idea what they're made of, but I get a skin irritation from them too and this has always worked for me. 

 

[PuckChaser]

I solved the irritation problem by just not wearing my dog tags. They fit nicely in my pocket.
