Theodore D Howard was a 30year man. Started out as enlisted, got out, when the depression came he re-uped as an enlisted man. He was made a Warrant Officer during WW2. And he was at Pearl Harbor during the attack. It is strange that his unit and location are listed. APO 957 was Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. Then they added the "Rifle Rack No-2" stamp. Weird.

Not sure if this is a personal  ID dog tag or an equipment access tag.
