I waited until I got there. There should be a seamstress on post that will do you sewing for little or no charge.

I'm sure your team leader will square you away.

Unless it has changed,

You can wear the Unit cites if in that unit OR if there when they were earned.

Goes from bottom to top:

Pocket: Expert Rifle and other school awards (Scuba bubble, Pathfinder etc)
Above pocket: Salad bowl (Ribbons)

About Salad Bowl: Jump wings and flash

Above that CIB, EIB

At least that is how I remember it. Probably wrong though, I remember when you could still smoke a cerries ass!!!!

It's been a while, and I can not locate my copy of AR670-1, but here goes...

All members of the unit wear "Unit Citations".

Only if you were with the unit during the operation/action for which the citation was awarded, may you wear the citation on your uniform, regardless of whether or not your current unit has been awarded said citation.

:D I'm as drunk as theople pink I am.

Also, badges above ribbons unless obscured by the lapel. In which case they go on the pocket.

I would think the CIB goes above the EIB

I don't think I've ever seen a CIB and EIB worn together. Do they/you/them.

It is one or the other. CIB over rides the EIB. I have both and that is my understanding.

They are two different awards. The CIB is worn higher or above all else. Only the Medal Of Honor worn around the neck is higher. The MOH may look lower but it starts around the back of the neck. No other award is worn in this manner. The MOH is the highest!

Thank you everyone. I'll just wait until I get there.

That is what I thought. I only asked because an earlier post made it sound like both were worn.

Wish I had a CIB :(

If you have an Expeditionary Medal it is just as good as a CIB. JMHO

One of the combat medals we received for OJC was the Army Expeditionary Medal with Arrowhead for spearheading the invasion. Multiple units recieved CIBs but only the Regt. received the medal. That to me, was the distinguishing award.

When I was awarded the CIB I had to remove my EIB and replace it with the CIB.
