A Service Tag is a tag that consists of one letter and two numbers, meant to identify soldiers quickly during battle. They show-up when another soldier "sees" you through a wall or if their cross-hair is not pointed directly on you, but they still see you on their current screen. This is used in the Halo 3 Multiplayer.
Advantages
It is good to set your service tag identical to your profile name, so allies can know which of their team-mates are with them. Also, if you cannot directly center a soldier, you are still able to catch their service tag.
