If a POG, awarded with a CAB (combat action badge), were to transfer to Infantry, would the soldier be authorized to wear the CIB?

No, as they're two separate awards with 2 different criteria. Meaning, you'd have to deploy a an 11B and get is some shit... again.

NO. The CIB is earned by Infantrymen. The CAB is earned by everyone. Period.

No.

No

No non transferable. Orders issued for each award.

Let me just say, that there is no "silly question" when the asking individual doesn't know the answer. The silly question is the one that goes unasked for fear of being ridiculed for asking it.

Don't even wear a CAB on your uniform when you're assigned to line units.

Nope. Was not infantry at the time

My experience is that people that use the term POG spent most of their time sweeping the motor pool, policing cigarette butts and giving their girlfriend extra money at the strip club because tonight will be THE night she goes home with him.

Resisting the temptation to rag on the PFC, the short answer is no. Criteria for the CIB is pretty straightforward, an infantry MOS and contact with a hostile enemy. There were exceptions when I was in. Guys not 11B were sent TDY to under strength grunt units. If, while with these units, contact was made, a CIB could be authorized, if the unit CO issued written orders recognizing the action.
