I'm not a grunt, I don't know how the CIB works. Semper Fi!!

CIB is Combat Infantryman's Badge. Only infantry are eligible for that award.

Right...no offense, my best buddy from HS was in the Army for 20 years...I could never figure out all the stuff he had on his uniform. The Marines keep it a lot simpler (now the jokes start about books with lots of photos, don't worry, I've heard them all!!) I remember during Desert Storm there was plenty of grumbling about who got the CIB, and on the Marine side they were arguing about the CAR. Then you have the CNO shooting himself in the chest over a combat "V"!! The new USMC Commandant had to remove his "Helping Hand" medal. The beat goes on.
