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

It never ceases to amaze me some of the questions and comments on this site. Now I certainly come from a different time and era, but I am amazed. Carry on.

If a person is legit awarded a medal or ribbon, then they are entitled to wear it, regardless. Does not matter if they swabbed decks for years, if something happened that warranted an award that might not normally be had in that career path, they would still be entitled to wear it. Again, legit awarded is the primary thing here. IF they were truly given that, then yes they can wear it.

I was going to say that i know many soldiers, including myself, who saw more "combat" as "POGs", than people assigned to an infantry unit, and were "GIVEN" cib's....But your low-IQ Infantry question pretty much made my point for me.

The answer is not NO, but HELL NO. Let me ask you this, chronologically speaking, Was he an 11B when he got the CAB? What is your answer???......OK, then you just answer your own question too. ......Next question......

Umm... only if he deploys with the infantry unit as an infantryman and returns fire in combat as part of his duties... otherwise this is a dumb question. That's like asking if you get a combat medical badge just for going to a medical unit.

No. MOS matters. You must be infantry to have your little badgie badge.
Marines have a ribbon, Marines in the wing do Air Assault shit all the time per MOS but you do not see Marines crying for an Air Assault badge. Funny, never saw an 03 series with that Army badge unless they were Army before or after
