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.
