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

Simply no by regs. I spent 8 years as a 63B but got busted down and had the opportunity to reclass to 11B. Even though I got ragged on I wore my CAB because I knew what I did and where I got it. Switching to a CIB, for the same award, if I could would just be fronting.

No,
Awards can be retroactive but not crossed by M.O.S.
The only M.O.S that can be awarded the CIB are the 11 series

You should do some research and answer your own question.

You are kidding me, right? What percentage of Americans serve in the military? I was an infantryman and never fully understood why someone who has a low GT score has the ability to criticize someone because of a MOS they chose. It is not their fault your GT score was so low you could not have a choice of a MOS. Maybe you need the look into a mirror next time you use the term POG (is that even the correct spelling).

Lmao this dude is 91b that’s what it says I think he’s referring to himself as the pog I’m being serious because That’s my assumption

CIB earned never given. OIF II veteran 11c

I served in combat as a medic with the 501st Infantry, 101st Airborne in Vietnam for 63 days. We exchanged gun fire with our M16’s and we got chased by rounds from AK47’s. All the guys in my platoon got Combat Infantry Badges but since no one in my platoon was injured, I didn’t qualify for any badge. Every medic I served with got shot or skilled.

I checked with the Army one time but they sent me a letter saying no cigar and said I should be ashamed for asking.

Actually I was the Battalion reporter before leaving Ft Campbell, KY on 12/13/1967 and they never changed my MOS to medic. I have letters showing I was a medic in Company C and clearing villages, etc.
but at this stage in my life I say
I DON’T NEED NO STINKING BADGE!

No!

No you can transfer any award to another it takes away from the award. I was in two services and earned awards in both. The Army Achievement Medal is the same as the Navy Achievement Medal for promotion points. Same with the Army Commendation Medal VS the Navy Commendation Medal each service has their own medals at that level or below MSM and BSM is the same across the services. Bottom line is each Rate in the Navy is been giving a expertise badge to deserving individuals that meet the requirements and the army in the resent past is doing the same by bringing in the CAB for none infantry Soldiers. The CAB started as an Engineer badge at concept then grew to be anyone who engaged the enemy. I personally have earned many of these honor's from both services. I am proud to have had the opportunity to earn them just remember they don't make you who you are they are military flare be proud wear them when appropriate. I choose not to wear them and just display them in my private office at home only for close friends to see. This is a free country and you all have earned them wear them with respect to all who earned them with you. God Bless you all

Of course not it would not transfer.The warrior would have to earn the CIB in a combat arms Mos
