An Army Regulation manual contains the Army Regulation and the regulation is the authority, not the manual... Deathbunny 22:36, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

18Ds (Special Forces Medics) are now eligible for the CIB as of 03JUN05. http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/UniformedServices/Badges/combat_infantryman.aspx I'm not fully familiar with Wikipedia standards, so it's nice if someone could fix that.

"True blue" and blue ink pens?[edit]

No one in the Army uses a blue pen. Soldiers carry black ink pens. This claim is urban legend nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.185.105 (talk) 14:30, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is wrong blue and black are both allowed in uniform . Red is often used for corrections. For the sake of EIB many grade blue as go and red as no go. This is from experience as a EIB candidate and graded Cowsthatfloat (talk) 03:18, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ROK soldier image[edit]

The EIB is a us army award, And primarily for us army infantrymen there was no need or context to having the only photo being a Korean soldier get the award. That makes no sense. I added a foreign military section to include the rok soldier and will continue adding different militaries who have participated.

I do not want this to turn into a fight over editing again. It has been a problem that non-military or non infantry editors continue to put misinformation in the infantry sections . Cowsthatfloat (talk) 03:15, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
