Here's a better question. If comments on the forum where used to defend you position to higher ranking members of your chain of command, would they be considered valid? ( Hint: the answer is NO). Asking where to find appropriate regulations could be considered an intelligent course of action. Seeking regulatory guidance by crowd sourcing is just setting yourself up for catastrophic failure and humiliation.

Tell us you refused to read a regulation without telling us you refused to read a regulation.

I agree with CSM Hayden. It would seem to be common sense that if you receive a CIB it is because you have been in Combat as an actual Infantry person, not as someone in another MOS who is attached to an Infantry unit. You definitely can’t “trade in” a CAB for a CIB just because you changed jobs, so to speak. So, yes, it is a silly question (source: I was in an Infantry unit with the 101st as a Supply soldier in 2003 & earned my EIB before that, but still couldn’t wear it either since I wasn’t listed as an actual Infantry soldier).

I don't believe the CIB could be worn, but the CAB could be worn unless there is a regulatory prohibition on the use of a CAB by infantry.

You should re-title your post

"If a Soldier, who had earned a CAB, were to transfer to the Infantry, would that Soldier be authorized to wear a CIB?"

And the answer would be negative. In order to be awarded a CIB a Soldier would have to have a primary MOS of 11 or 18 series when performing the conditions required for award.
