36 Series is financial management, and communications is now 25 Series.. prior to the reorganization which occurred from 2001 - 2004, commo was 31 Series. So this seems to me to indicate that you were in before the Combat Action Badge was established in May of 2005, and could only be backdated to actions which occurred following the September 11th attacks. So, if this is the case, you're not authorized to wear it.
If you're in currently, then perhaps they've reorganized the MOS structure again since my time... in which case, the MOS is eligible to wear it, but you could only wear it if you were actually awarded it... the basic criteria for a CAB is enemy contact... simply deploying to a combat zone doesn't qualify you for it.
Combat Action Badge was created on 2005-05-02.
No, you only wear one Category I badge.
No, you cannot.
Yes. If you have earned the Combat Action Badge (CAB) you can wear it on your Class A uniform.
Medics cannot receive CABs (Combat Action Badge). Instead, they receive the CMB (Combat Medical Badge) for treating wounded soldiers in a combat situation.
The combat action badge are worn with "Class A" Army green, blue or white uniform coats. You must wear that uniform when wearing the badge.
If he's under fire, yes. The Army has a special case: if a medic assigned to an infantry unit treats a patient under enemy action, he will receive the Combat Medical Badge rather than the Combat Action Badge. Medics in non-infantry units will receive the Combat Action Badge.
Anyone who is fired upon and/or returns fire. Specifically, as the citation reads, 'engages or is engaged by the enemy.' Those eligible for the Combat Infantry Badge or the Combat Medical Badge are ineligible.
No specific listing of that sort exists.
