I remember 2003 Iraq seeing females in the torrent on humvee Manning the the 240 or 50 cal and engaging the enemy. In 2003 females were supposed to not be in combat hence they could not earn CIB or CAB. My team got hit in a bad ambush outside Mosul and a nearby convoy came to give fire support, in your mind they are POGS in mine they saved our ass!!!

That individual can only earn the CIB if he is MOSQ as 11B and has engaged the enemy in a fight….CIB is only awarded to infantry……

Only dumb question is the one nit askek but you are pushing that. Haha. You EARN CABs and CIBs. They are not interchangeable. If you go to an infantry company and your mos is 11b you can't just put on a CIB. You can wear your CAB. You earned that. No one can put on their uniform anything that isn't earned.

No, he or she would not be authorized to wear the CIB. You may have noticed I included females. That’s because the military lifted the ban on females in combat arms positions….

No, the CIB has to be earned while in combat action as an Infantry Man. They'd still be authorized to wear their CAB. This was a question better not asked though. Even the term POG just betrays your lack of maturity.

No. For a CIB you only qualify if you are an Infantryman in combat serving as Infantry. CAB is for everyone else. Its just that simple. Now if you reclass and go to combat then yes, you could wear the CIB
