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. But you can keep wearing your CAB till you get one!

Are people still posting on this non-sense? Wow. The 4 year old's are out in force.

Okay, I'm curious really don't have an opinion. I have been out of the Army for 53 years, was a draftee but volunteered for Combat duty in Vietnam. Yeah, I know I was nuts but what the hey. Mos designations were a slippery deal when I was in and I would have to haul out my DD 214 to see what the last one was. I took basic in an Infantry Division that trained and shipped to Vietnam as a Division. 9th Infantry 1967 look it up if you think I'm wrong. So I was a rifleman, then in Ait I was supposed to be a truck driver but was immediately changed to Commo. Got transferred to a transportation outfit and was a truck driver again.
Okay first question what the Hell is a POG?
Second point when I was at a firebase I was tapped to stand parade for a CIB award. It was for a Major. As they announced it the Grunt next to me who had been boots on the ground, lip deep in the crud the mud and the blood said " SOB just flew over us" he don't deserve a CIB" He is just claiming it to get a promo. With that said I don't see it as a super impressive deal. Yes you went through the hell of battle, so did a lot of other guys who don't get to wear one. I have a ton more respect for anyone who wears a Bronze star, a Silver star, a DSC or a Congressional Medal of Honor. I have known several such men and I stand small in their shadow. I know it's a thing for promotion and important to lifers. So once again what the heck is a POG?

If it is on your ERB and your not wearing it, then you are considered out of uniform.

I think it would have to be specifically awarded but even if it was allowed there's no way I would do it. The whole unit is going to give you s*** and lose faith in your personal morality. Seems bad.

No. You have to be an 11b in a infantry company engaged by the enemy.

Frankly, if said individual were to care about badges, than focus on the EIB. CIB is an acknowledgement of chance circumstances. Right place, right time. Lots of us have them. But for the award on my chest a friend of mine or 4 didn't come home. EIB speaks more to the individuals capability and proficiency at individual 11B tasks. But that's just one Infantryman's opinion, I will say I am more proud of my eib than my cib.

This might be one of the goofiest questions that I have seen on here. First off, you should probably save the "POG" stuff for jokes and all around just messing with one another in a friendly way. When you use it unironically it's not a good look. Second, since you appear to be a new troop I'll invite you to go look in the 670-1 and research the answer for yourself and come back us with what you find. It would be good practice for you as junior enlisted to know how to find answered for yourself and it will be good prep for any S.O.M. , promotion boards in the future.

Bwahahahahaha, No

What’s a POG?
