That's interesting because back in the early 90's, they used our full names and SSN on all our TDY/deployment orders. I still have all mine to prove it. I never threw away any service-related records. They did away with the SSN before I got out. Based on what you're saying, they brought it back.
They even stopped using military service numbers and switched to SSN's. They are used for everything now.
Same with college student I.D.s. Used to be 4 or 5 digit numbers unattached to anything. Now colleges use SS# exclusively.

I remember cashing a check at the Navy exchange and I had to put my SSN on the check.
Try opening a bank account w/out ss#
I can if I sneak across the border as an illegal criminal invader. I can get anything and for free.
Ugh… 😣
