That's only a requirement when using the turn method for identification. There is also no requirement to pass position when telling aircraft to resume own navigation. Common sense prevailing though I tend to do it if I reckon it will be helpful (PPL, Light Singles, VFR etc.)

The position of an aircraft is only passed when considered necessary by the controller, but surely in Chevron case it should have been given as common courtesy. On a XC and vectored all over the sky then thrown to the next frequency.
