C Coy 3 PPCLI were issued them before they deployed to Afghanistan in Feb 07, the guys I talked to didn't mind them too much. They hardly wore them at all while they were there anyways.
That was one thing I found frustrating was that the booklet was a 2007 copy so I thought that the military I.D. would have been in there.
No it was not one of those laminated temporary I.D.'s it was the hard plastic one.
Yeah I thought about that but the manager was not there. However I think I will go in again tomorrow and inform him that it is a federal piece of identification.
I am on leave at the moment in Ontario and I was at The Beer Store yesterday to purchase some beer and I was asked to provide some I.D. The only piece of identification I had on me at the time was my military I.D. I handed it over to the cashier and he looked puzzled then pulled out a booklet...
Your not the only one with this problem. I'm pretty lean 6'2" and I get the same thing when I do sit-ups or crunches, no pain at all just that annoying popping sound. Best advice as it was mentioned is to go and see a doctor.
I get what the doc calls "white coat hypertension" which basically means everytime I go to the doctor to get my BP it is always higher than normal. I was hooked up to an ambulatory blood pressure monitor for 24hrs and everything was normal.
Just to add to make you feel better, I came across a picture on combatcamera that shows a Lt-Col with a neck tattoo as well as one on his wrist:

ArmyDave your post made me laugh re: I'm a tad bit on the tall side (6'9") and I thought I was tall at 6'2''. Being tall is great, use it to your advantage and I am sure you will do fine. A little ribbing now and then does the body good.
Sh0rtbUs, your points are pretty much the same ones I would have written. Just recently I received my job offer to the PPCLI and head out to Wainwright on the 30th March, although I thought for sure they would send me to RCR because of the new regiment being stood up. Whatever battallion I get...

In regulator12's case he doesn't have to write a CFAT or do BMQ, SQ, BIQ he should just be scooped up by a battalion and sent on his way. It is frustrating to see guys that are coming off of civvy street being processed faster than skilled applicants.
