Where on my Air Force Service Uniform would I wear my Army CSIB (I checked the AFI and wear of other services badges is authorized)?

Well, for those that still wear the ASU dress uniform, we wear that CSIB on our right chest pocket, under the flap and centered. If we have two badges (for example a CSIB and a Drill Sergeant badge), I have seen them worn together on the same pocket just side by side.

Does it not state in the AFI where to put other services badges? Did you ask anyone in your unit?

The CSIB metal Badge is ONLY for wear on the Army Uniform. (the one and only sole exception IAW AFI36-2903 is participating in a ceremony or function of the Wartime activity unit that merited the CSIB badge otherwise it's wear is NOT authorized on a USAF Uniform) Army service ribbons can be worn on the USAF Uniform in the order of precedence and if two awards are the same value the Air Force Badge will be placed first in the order of Precedence. All ribbons must be the same size an worn only over the left breast pocket. Foreign ribbons will be worn last in the order of precedence after all US decorations. Other service awards including Army awards such as a CIB or other Qualification badges Temporary qualification badges are NOT authorized for wear on the Air Force Uniform. can be worn centered above the service ribbons. Also National Guard ribbons are not authorized on an Air Force uniform except while actually assigned to a Guard unit. I hope that answers Your questions in this insignia subject area.

If not clarified specifically in the AFI, I would request guidance from the AF Uniform Board. https://www.afpc.af.mil/Career-Management/Dress-and-Appearance/
In the past (WAY past), I would occasionally see Airmen wearing the CIB (earned in the Army during VietNam), but I have not seen this in a LONG time. Anyway, my two cents - good luck! PS - post what you find out on RallyPoint, for future similar inquiries?
