Can someone be a "twice awarded Combat Infantry Badge recipient" from different wars (Korea & VN)?

In the Marine Corps and Navy you can be awarded the combat action ribbon multiple times if you served in different conflicts or were in multiple stages of that particular war such as Afghanistan I was awarded twice for the same conflict because they were different phases of the war Operation New Dawn ect

ONLY IN THE THE BIG A

Great discussion and my best salute and debt of gratitude for your bravery and service! Navy E-1 to O-7, submarines

OK, got a question (because I don't know the answer) - if a soldier is assigned multiple times to the same place, let's say 3 to Afghanistan and 3 more to Iraq, does he/she get 6? I was AF, so this is totally out of my league - just wondering how it all works.

No. They get a star over the reif than an other star for the next country this is for combat only

Part of the reason for not seeing 3 or 4 stars on a CIB....that means they are probably doing 20 or 30 years...and it would have to be still in the Infantry. That is a body that is getting old. Many people start out in INF and then re-up for a new MOS. But there are some studs who do decades in the infantry who probably deserve a heck of a pay raise.

THAT IS THE FIRST TIME I HEAR THAT

Time munches on, and the more we engage in conflicts the "You never see anyone with 2 stars" mentality will fade. Remember, if it's not in writing, it doesn't exist;If it IS in writing, it DOES....That is all.

My stepfather served in WW2, KOREA, and Vieatnam so it is possible

Sure !
