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

I have asked you 7 times to change my rant to SSG instead of SP6. I was an 11B4H,55D4H. What do I have to do to get you guys to change this.

NO...Your award was not for the CIB. Look at General Milley. He was special forces qualified and was awarded the CAB.

You need to establish which POG MOS you are talking about. A forward support MOS could and have been awarded the CIB, but they usually are also Spec Ops, JSOC or infantry unit. Speaking as someone who has been informed that I should have been wearing my CIB - I didn't wear it as a sign of respect to those who were in combat MOSs...

Do you really think they just hand these awards out ? It’s got to be earned.

I never served in a Combat Zone however I suspect General Mandated Training (GMT) would likely clear up any further on issues with the CIB.

Most importantly wear what you have earned. Recall my father as a SNCO getting dhit from a lt in the 80's. Basically because my father had wings, 5 rows of ribbons and combat awards from Vietnam. The lt had one ribbon but felt superior as an O. Honestly fuck ''em. Wear what you earned and you'll always be right.

Far as I know anyone awarded a badge is authorized to wear it. Which is why so many officers wear badges they're shit at
