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

Douche baggyness, nobody cares about the fruit salad on your jacket. I barely give a shit about the brass on your cover. I do care that you served, and are doing okay.

Transferring to the Infantry wouldn't cut it. Don't you think you have to earn the CIB, first? It would mean more. They are, after all, two different badges for two different types of combat involvement.

Absolutely not.

This is a bit off subject, but during Vietnam, a lot of non-11Bs were assigned to Infantry units to make up personnel shortages. Most of these guys were from other combat arms (Armor, Artillery, etc.), but others weren't. Nevertheless, they served as Infantrymen, beating the bush, getting into firefights and doing other fun Grunt stuff. They were awarded CIBs by their units and wore them proudly......until some AG-type decided that the AR had to be enforced.
I remember we had two tank commanders in our company who were ordered to stop wearing their CIBs solely because they were tankers. The total unfairness of the policy was shameful. I wonder if similar situations are still happening today.

What does POG. Stand for. I know what REMF means. I am guessing it’s close to what REMF means. Probably just a generation thing

YES.

NO. He was awarded a CAB not a CIB, you where what you have been awarded.

If you earn a CAB while serving in any MOS other than INFANTRY or Special Forces, you wear a CAB. Unless you are an 11 series MOS or 18 series MOS, your Combat Badge will be a CAB, even if you are serving with an Infantry or ODA element, your Combat badge is dictated by your MOS.
As per AR 670-1 Soldiers Actively engaging or being engaged by the enemy, and performing satisfactorily in accordance with prescribed rules of engagement after September 18, 2001.
Eligibility: All soldiers NOT Infantry or Special Forces MOS.

I was awarded a Navy and Marine Corps combat action ribbon for my service in Vietnam. When I went into the Army National Guard I didn't wear a Combat Infantryman's Badge---BECAUSE I DIDN'T EARN IT---If you didn't earn an award---don't disrespect those who did. Don't make a jackass of yourself by wearing decorations you didn't earn.

CAB and CIB have different criteria, so no.. no you would not. Wear your CAB with pride, I’m 11B and there’s nothing wrong with being anything else, so why would you want to take off your CAB? The only MOS I’d be ashamed to be is 31B
