¿Are these tags painted? - ¿Is the chain painted?

R.-“Yes, the tags as well as the chains are made of stainless steel with a layer of black paint.” 

¿Will black dog tags chip?.

R.-“Black tags are traditional stainless steel dog tags painted with a very high quality paint. The paint is applied in such a way that it will stay on during normal use. Occasionally, the black paint will chip. Chipping can even occur during the stamping process. However if you are very careful, avoiding to get the tags wet, specially with salt water, the paint will last very long.”

¿Why do the special forces have to wear black tags?

R.-"The Special Forces Groups: army rangers, navy seals, Delta Force, etc. generally perform night operations. They are specially trained for high risk tasks which generally are performed at night. As a consequence all of their equipment must be blacken, including the dog tags, for a  better camouflage."

DESCRIPTION.-

The "BLACK" dog tags have been made according to the regulation of the January 15, 1967 of the United States Army, Vietnam (USARV) which ordered to all of the Special Operation Groups operating behind enemy lines to blacken all insignia when in the field. 

This regulation is still in force up today and it is the  identification used by all of the Special Operations Groups (green berets, army rangers, navy seals, commandos, etc) of the U.S. army.

R.-“Not necessarily. In the army is mandatory that both tags possess the same information, since they are used to identify the soldiers when in the field, however to civilians uses, this is not necessary, you can order different data in each dog tag.”

¿What can you stamp on the dog tags?

R.- “You can have anything you want stamped on the dog tags. It's up to you. You can have your tags stamped just like the military with last name, first name, social security number, blood type, and religion.  However, you can personalize the text to include your birth date, zodiacal sign, surname, address, phone number, etc.”

I like the examples but there are some lines I would like to change and combine with another ones. ¿Do I have to guide me only for these examples?

R.- "Not at all. These  examples are only a reference of the data you can order to stamp. When you were going to order you will see FIVE LINES of fifteen (15) characters to be filled out with any information you want."
