I had no idea there were so many rules. When I got to the 25th ID they told us, after 90 days or your first Purple Heart you'll get a CIB. Two of the six of us got our CIB prior to the 90 days.
I wonder why the 25th said 90 days and the regulations said just 30 days? It wasn't like we were getting shot at once ever three months, wasn't like that at all.
Hey Jerker: if your friend was in Vietnam and spent a year there in '69 and had an Infantry MOS, it sure seems it would be hard not to get a CIB. What's the rest of the story? I've heard that people who got a "bad paper", dishonorable discharge, had areas on the discharge left blank, hence there would be no mention of a CIB or other awards. That's not the case is it? Has this guy let you see his DD-214?
Stay healthy,
Andy
