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

The simple answer here is no, not unless the soldiers was to earn the CIB in any CZ with engagement meeting CIB requirements. If the criteria was meet then yes but the CAB does not translate to the CIB different award with different ways to obtain.

My first question would be, did he earn it with an infantry unit? That might answer the question.

No.

I'm a POG. No, you have to earn it. Period!

Ahhh yes, but to be inclusive, we should all wear what makes us happy. -:)

Isn't that what Army service is all about. GeeeeZE!

Yeah, I know I am an old fart. LOL

Thank You all for your Service!

Why would a 91 series consider himself a POG? GUESS WHAT, I spent 32 years active duty infantry. There are POGs in the infantry.

I was a cook assigned to the 1/69th Infantry BN. I rode with the BN CO. We were engaged by the enemy in an IED/ambush. I got an CAB while the CO got an CIB. I may have been fighting like an 11B but I was not holding that MOS. So I did not deserve the CIB. I would have been honored to get the CIB but it would not have been right.

Nope, the CIB has to be EARNED.

no

A Badge is a permanent award it doesnt change because of a new MOS
