Responding to the post about having your dogtags on your keychain and the possibility of identity theft because they display your SSN, it got me to thinking about that very same information on my old military paperwork. I still have all my paperwork from my time in the service. Last year, out of curiosity I was poking thru it all. My orders for reporting to my duty station not only had my SSN, but everybody else's that was processing thru the 21st Replacement Co. There must have been 30 other people on the same set of orders. I'm sure that my information is sitting in the dusty trunks of Lord knows how many other people's basements just waiting to be discovered and exploited...but what can one do? Mike
