Nametag Day 2024
 |
When I was in the Navy Reserve the people at the Pickens Street Prison thought it was their duty to call me down when I declined to voluntarily wear a name tag.
It simply wasn't something to which I had agreed to do up front and it was not 'uniform of the day' in any of my previous commands either.
I hate bossy WAVES and we had a few prowling the halls ... shaving was another thing I was SUPPOSED to be able to forego, but they whined about that too. I viewed it all as overstep and treated it as such.
Nametag Day is observed on the first Thursday in March which makes it fall on March 7 this year. It has been in existence since 1997, when it was started by a well-known American onomatologist (professional busybody) named Jerry Hills.
If you choose to comply with the wishes of those who think they have some God given right to know your name, more power to you !
Happy Nametag Day Anyway!
