Can I wear an overseas service bar for a 6 month deployment from a different branch if it meets the criteria stated in 670-1?

You can wear what you earned and got in your records. Refer the individual complaining to the AR.
That would be like saying someone who won the Navy MOH can't wear it if he joined the Army.
