General

A trooper may request one name change in during their career with the 7th Cavalry Regiment with the following stipulations:

• Must be requested within the first 30 days of enlistment.
• Names must include a realistic forename and surname; not necessarily your real name.
• Troopers may not choose (within the limits of common sense) any of the following as names:
  • Historically important names
  • Actors
  • Musicians
  • Cartoon names
  • Names of importance from novels, television etc.
  • Religious names
• Names cannot have any special characters or spaces in them as this causes problems with the MILPACS system.

Approval Authority

• The RRD/ROO OIC/Staff Lead and RRD/ROO NCOIC have approval authority for all name change requests.
• Exceptions to all of the above may be made at the discretion of the General Staff.
