Should the Army do something to represent two same-class badges such as EIB/CIB and EFMB/CFMB?

I like this idea. They should make a Master Infantry Badge (MIB). I got bored and threw something together. I would sport this. What say you? Everyone else is getting badges, the infantry is due for something new.

I've both and don't feel slighted in the least. There's probably something more important to worry about.

Had they used live ammunition and really unfriendly people trying to do me damage personally during my EIB testing and had that testing gone on for three years after I passed I'd be glad to wear my EIB instead of my CIB.

I think it would look funny to wear both EIB and CIB and CMB/EFMB. I do think some kind of mark on the combat badge to show you earned both is good. True the combat badges are awarded; Ive never been in combat but I think that would be more rigorous to me than taking the test, as rigorous the test may be. I was fortunate to have earned the EFMB; I am more proud to wear that than anything else not because it a feather on my cap, but because Im proud to be part of the "fraternity" of our outstanding soldier-medics!

I think some ad-on symbol on the combat badge showing both were earned would be appropriate.

I totally agree with you CW2 (Join to see).

One solution might be a redesign of the badge completely. There should be a way to distinguish those who have earned the coveted EIB or EFMB respectively as these show excellence within the M.O.S.

It could be something that an individual could submit and get recognized for.

I like the idea put forth earlier about Gold leaf around the musket, wouldn't be that hard, they already do it for combat jumps with their gold stars.

Awesome post! Yes please Sir, ma'am, Sergeant, etc...I earned both the EFMB (as a young 19 year-old PFC, much to my surprise lol!) and 10 years later earned CMB in Iraq (would gladly give it back to have 3 brothers return home). It would be great to somehow show both awards, same for da' grunts ;)

From a completely outside perspective (I'm aviation), I have senior crewmember wings.  There's no 'combat crew wings', and the wings are awarded by the MOS, even to those who don't actually crew.  To me that's absurd but besides the point.  I'm about to go to flight school though, and I'll have aviator wings, and I will not be able to wear both.  I don't mind that at all as I rarely ever put any badges at all (wings, air assault, cab(actually earned)).  My ASU's tell all, but my duty uniform eh, it gets dirty.  I do not know if wearing aviator wings is REQUIRED, but if given the option, it's only going to go on my ASU's.  Leave the eye candy for the ASU's is my take I suppose.  That being said, no one really cares what's on anyone's chest in duty uniform.  Combat patch, and tabs should pretty much say all the bragging to be quite frank. 

I'm on the fence about change so I would recommend that no change occur to the award of wearable classes on the ACU but would like to be able to wear multiple Class I and II badges on the dress uniform.
We could argue that it is possible to run out of room above the breast pocket so it could read that if multiple Class I or II badges are worn no more than three rows of ribbons/medals be worn.
