Reply #47: I had a similar battle when I was in the Navy.

In my church going days while stationed in North Carolina I wanted to change my religious preference on my dog tags from 'No Preference' to 'Christian.' That's when the trouble started. They wouldn't let me have just 'Christian' on my dog tags. It had to be a certain sect, ie., Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist or such. So, they asked me, "Which one are you?" I said, "None of them, I'm a Christian." I fought long and hard for my particular distinction, but I eventually won out. The Navy finally got the idea that many people aren't sectarian in their expression of faith. Now I have the 'Christian' distinction on my dog tags and the Navy has amended their policy. Of course, that was in my church going days. Now I'm more inclined toward Sgt. Stewart's persuasion. But that battle is worth fighting.
