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 want to ask all our young men and women, that are currently serving in the army.
Why did you enlist?
A: To serve your country
B: To see how many Awards and medals you can get?
It seems like I'm reading more and more on this Platform. Of individuals asking questions about the details of wearing certain medals ribbons and other awards. I'm sure everyone that has a CIB Would gladly give it back after going through the hell It took to Turn such an award. I'm sure many of you have comrades lost or severely injured with life changing injuries That no Meadow or ribbon or award could ever compensate that for. So it pains me to read about and individual asking about literally can I transfer a Award because he switch mos, I could literally feel the agitation in some of the responses and rightly so. And I'm in agreement with those that feel agitated. God-bless everyone that signed up to enlist or to become officers and Olive our armed forces let's not diminish the decision we made by haggling over , who gets to wear what kind of award.

That would be a NO, Dawg! Unless regs changed recently. Wear it proudly and dont try to hide it.

That would require you to be in direct combat with the enemy, as an Infantryman.

Cool! And I guess my Meritorious Service Medal becomes a Bronze Star while I'm in the Combat Zone. Who da thunk?
