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.

The Regimental Recruiting Oversight Officer (ROO), Aide to the ROO, RRD HQ, and their designates have approval authority for all name change requests.
Exceptions to all of the above may be made at the discretion of the General Staff.

To request a name change go to https://7cav.us/tickets/ and open a new ticket requesting a name change.
