Fascinating, I've got dogtags, but they were to identify me as a U.S.
Military dependent in case I got lost in Germany. Of course at the time, I
hardly spoke German or English. Since most of the time I was living on or
near first strike targets, we didn't worry much about drills or identifying
the bodies. The only drill I remember was an experimental evacuation of
Elmendorf AFB, when it was determined lots of slow moving cars couldn't
outrun bombers, much less ICBMs.
