Originally posted by safetalker: Perhaps it is time for an extra Nms under security. I wondered about this in the 90s. My suggested answer is that each unit who forms under the NMS create a unit ID. The card could have what the Military ID card does so no privacy issues rise. 1. Photo 2. Name in lower upper case. f,m,l 3. Unit 4. On back is a copy of the oath 5. On back is the red imprint of the right trigger finger (if missing use one you shoot with) 6. On back is your known signature as you use it. 7. On back is the name and signature of the issuing commander.
While these are cheap to make on business cards they, if stored digitally on an encrypted file also easy to send to the mission commander, or carry on an encrypted thumb drive.
Still no sure thing it is better than a guess and harder for local leo to thwart or duplicate. Remember that under the Dick Act each militia soldier needs what every soldier has. Uniform with patch and name tape Identification
Those who wish to fly under all radar can provide other id as needed, but you can't have it both ways. You can't represent the people if you don't exist.
For OPSEC reasons, it seems like this is something that should be done the day of or day before deployment. Correct me if I'm wrong.
On equipment: You get what you inspect, not what you expect. On training: Our drills are bloodless battles so that our battles are bloody drills. On tactics: Cheating just means you're serious about winning.
