WW2 tag ID help

I have a bunch of my grandfather's old stuff (he was a WW2 vet) and found a random dog tag from another soldier. I know nothing about this man except for what's on his tags. Anyone know how to go about finding more about him? I have no idea how to translate a tag. Any help is much appreciated,

yeah birthdate is not on there, you wanna try and keep that hidden. Not a lot of birthday parties in the military nor does that have anything to do with identifying you.

I stand corrected.
Was going off memory from a long time ago.
Thanks

All good. It was a bad day if your buddies knew it was your birthday.

Google is your friend. There are many military affiliated groups that help in getting info for people like that. I was able to get Navy service records for my grandpa from his service through a group formed by relatives of service members from the ship he served on.

I tried a couple of Google searches, but they ask for things like "birth date" which I have no idea of....also, I don't really want to post a pic. Seems like that should stay private.
Update...I found a bunch of photos that my grandpa took in Guam during the war. He was an amateur photographer. These pictures are amazing. Very humbling.
