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 you have to be Infantry to get the CIB you can’t trade another award in for it

bro, I'm not even 11B and know this answer... ah hell no! there's a reason why you wear the CIB, just as not all infantry wear it... just cause they were deployed and in a combat area, doesn't mean they get to wear infantry awarded shiiet. come on man

No because 1 you must be infantry qualified and 2 you must serve in combat as a infantry.

am I authorized to wear an infantry badge if I only OJT into the MOS 11B?

A cib is awarded for actually being in combat. The eib has nothing to do with combat. what a stupid question

One has nothing to do with the other. The CIB is not supposed to be awarded by default unless you are an officer

No. But I think the CAB would be far more interesting to have than the CIB, because infantry is expected to be engaged, POGs are not. Thus a Driver who saw combat or a cook who saw combat AND DID NOT HIDE NOR RUN is FAR cooler than an infantryman who saw combat and fought back (with the large exception of combat valor awards: ie MOH, Gold Star, etc)

Haha! I laughed out load.

No. The cib/cmb can only be awarded to those that are Mosq @ the time of the incident. The cib, cab, cmb have the exact same point value for promotion. Other than being different design they all mean the same. That you were engaged, engaged, or recieved idf from enemy action. Anyone that says that any has more value than the other is a joke & full of themselves.

Let me guess "asking for a friend" lol.
I've got 2 points for you. 1) yes all awards and qualification badges transfer with you throughout your career. 2) they only ones who use the term pog and that is in reference to any one that isnt them...lol
