I work in a place where Navy graduates from Great Lakes visit frequently and I have noticed that NONE of them have name tags on their uniforms. I question them about it and they dont have an answer for me. Now, when I was in the Air Force, we got our name plates right away. Why doesnt the Navy do that as well? Any good reasons?
Serious replies only please.

And yes, I was in the Air Force in 86. I got up to the rank of E-4 and was stationed in Germany. We got our name tapes as soon as we got our greens and our name plates as soon as we got our blues.

Okay... recruits stencil their names on all their uniforms; when they are issued !! Though they are not visible when worn on working-dress and dress uniforms. Plastic Name-tags are nominally the responsibilty of the Permanent Duty-Station.
Since NO Navy member should be wearin their working uniform (Dungarees) off-base, you won't see a name on a recent graduate!!
I went thru boot-camp in 1985, and ONLY the Recruit-Company-Commander got a name-tag for his dress uniform.
I went thru Aircrew Candidate and Rescue Swimmers School, my A-School (AW), SERE, Advanced Acoustics, and the Fleet Replacement Squadron (HSL-41)... a grand total of 14 months... before reaching my PDS (HSL-43).
HSL-43's policy was to ONLY issue the plastic name-tags to E-4 and above !! So it was TWO years before I got my first name-tag.
I still have them all... HSL-43, FASOTRAGRUPAC, USS Kitty Hawk, HS-6, USS Stennis

Well in case your dad is within the Navy, he must have a quantity he can name. They will first Verify he's within the Navy earlier than giving out logon data. All of those web sites require you to have a identification and password to go online. If he has this, then whilst he's logged in pass to Personnel and he can uncover out this data.

I never got a name plate when I was in boot camp, After I got into the fleet One of MRs made name plates for the entire crew , but it was always an optional thing. We never wore them with our dress uniforms only our service uniforms.

The navy doesn't issue name plates. I don't know why, but they don't. In fact, unless you are in the working blues/whites (the unform with the button down shirt and tie, as opposed to the dress whites and blues that use a jumper top and hankerchief.), you wouldn't wear them anyway.

Recruits don't get Name tags or plates. They just stencil 'em on their clothing. once they hit A school they will be given name plates.

Which uniform? Name tags are on working uniforms, on dress uniforms it is optional.

Good question. Call public relations at the base. If you can't find a number for PR, call the CO\'s secretary.

Usually, you don't get a nameplate until you arrive at your first command, since most nameplates in the Navy also display your command.
