Thanks 2CAV(God bless you for your service). Bear with me, I’m just a ‘’civie’’ but the CIB is an Army only citation then, as I understand it. Purple Hearts and Bronze Stars are given in all branches of the service as well as the MoH, the DSC, The Silver and Bronze Stars(with added citations for valor, again, as I understand it). The Navy Cross is given to Navy personnel as well as Marines but not say, to an Airmen or an Army soldier nor is an Air Medal given to a Marine, right? In short, Poindexter here,(this pathetic looking kid) is all assed-up and backwards and tricked out like a badly done Christmas tree, as I see it.

Yeah, some awards are branch specific.

We had a Marine who had gotten out and joined the Army, and some of his awards carried over.
