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

Lol.

Why POG? You immediately lost my respect.

The correct answer is you are allowed to wear awards you earned. Nothing else. There is no same as. No substitutions.

I know someone who was 11B but since he was not with an Infantry unit in Iraq he is only awarded a CAB. Nice try POG.

Is that still an acceptable label? Soldiers and perhaps Marines use it as a derogatory term. Like you are better than one. Ironic, considering that many infantrymen are such, only because they aren’t quite smart enough for any other MOS.

I would think Not . They got it for what they were not what they would become . They would have to go into combat as Infantry to earn it just like anyone else . BTW i was 13F but they had limited need so i lead patrols outside the wire mostly at night We were doing the same job as infantry with the same risk and mission . Not all non infantry are POG's . Oh to avoid confusion i served in both Marines and army when in Iraq i was Army .

Check the regulations. Each award requirements are spelled out. I haven't seen them. I be willing to place a hefty wager that the answer would be no.

No two different badges

Hell No! There are very specific regulations and those that pertain to the CAB and the CIB are quite different.

No. Period.
