Best Answer

No, you cannot. You have to be classed as infantry to earn the EIB.

.................................................

Another Answer:

EIB is the Expert Infantryman Badge that was given to almost everyone in basic that passed the course. It did not matter what job you had.

The CIB Combat Infantryman Badge was given to those that were in combat infantry situations. You did not have to be in the infantry to receive either award.

Where was the 208 field artillery battalion in world war 2?

I checked the artillery assigned to the Infantry Divisions and the 208 Field Artillery Battalion was NOT part of an infantry division. This means they were either a separate battalion assigned to an Army or a Corps. I did find reference to the 208 Field Artillery Group. An artillery regiment or a group were a higher level of command for several battalions. It was more of an administrative organization. However, some of these units were re-organized and re-identified from a regiment to a Battalion.


Why did Darius choose Marathon as his battle sight to attack the Greeks?

Marathon was a feint. In order to capture Athens, he had arranged for traitors to open the gates of the city. The plan was to land at Marathon, drawing the Athenian army there. Then his cavalry re-mbarked and rowed around Cape Sounion to land opposite Athens, then gallop up and seize the city while the infantry kept the Athenian infantry interested at Marathon 26 miles away. With the city lost, the Athenian army would be trapped between it and the Persian infantry. Unfortunately for this plan, the Athenians saw the cavalry departing. They had been lurking in the foothills waiting for Spartan reinforcement, as they did not want to face the Persian cavalry on the Plain of Marathon which was good cavalry country. Now, with the cavalry embarking embarking, the Athenian heavy infantry ran down and defeated the weaker Persian infantry. They then realised where the ships were going and ran back over the hills to Athens, just in time to form up in front of the city as the Persian cavalry arrived. The Persians, their infantry defeated and their cavalry stymied, gave up and went home. This was the origin of today's marathon run - however today's pampered runners get it easier than the 9,000 Athenian infantry, fed on bread, wearing sandals and carrying armour, shields and weapons.


How do you find a soldier in the seventh Infantry Company B?

ClarificationInstead of 7th Infantry Company, you probably mean 7th Infantry Regiment. Soldiers usually referred to their regiment or occassionally their Division. The discharge papers usually refer to the veteran's regiment. During WW2, the typical Infantry Division consisted of 3 Infantry Regiments and 4 artillery battalions and an engineer battalion and other supporting companies. Each Regiment consisted of 12 companies divided into 3 Battalions as follows:1st Battalion - Companies A, B, C, D2nd Battalion - Companies E, F, G, H and3rd Battalion - Companies I, K, L, M (no J).So, the term "7th Infantry Company" is not correct. A soldier would refer to his unit as:"Company B, 7th Infantry Regiment"If the soldier was talking to another soldier within the same division or location, he might shorten it to say: "7th Infantry, Company B". Here he implies a regiment and the comma(,) seperates the two levels of command. So your Question is not really Incorrect, but it needed some clarification for some readers.Also, Company B was in the 1st Battalion, so any reference to "1st Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment" would include his company. The Battalion was commanded by a Colonel and is the basic unit used in combat. So many histories will refer to the battalions and not the companies.AnswerThe 7th Infantry Regiment was part of the 3rd Infantry Division. This unit saw combat in Italy and fought at Anzio until July 1944 and then landed in Southern France in Aug 1944. There is a unit history on the 3rd Infantry Division that was printed in 1947 or so. Recently, it has been re-printed by Battery Press. It is a very large book and it is unique to most unit histories in that it contains an extensive roster of the soldiers who served in this unit. I would recommend that you contact your library and ask for an inter-library loan for this book. This book may have his name in it.The 7th Infantry Regiment were known as the "Cotton Balers". This unit is a descendant of a unit that fought at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812 and they used cotton bales to fortify their position.I wouldn't mind looking through it for your soldier's name.CustermenReference: "History of the 3rd Infantry Division in WW2" by Donald G. Taggart, available through Battery Press in Nashville, TN.

How many police badges can you earn?

If you are referring to the badge that is issued to a law enforcement officer, they only get one, typically with the officers "badge number" affixed to, or engraved on, it. If they are promoted and move to a higher rank they will be issued another badge which reflects their new rank and new number. They can "earn" as many badges as the ranks to which they may be promoted. Upon promotion they surrender their former badge back to the department or agency and it and the number are re-assigned to a new officer. Badge numbers are customarily never 'retired' from use unless the officer that carried it at the time was killed in the line of duty.


Does the second Marine Corps Expert Rifle shooting award have to be consecutive?

Yes! Devil Dog, how long have you been in? The correct answer is no. The following is quoted from MCO 3574.2K: "Marines are authorized the subsequent re-qualification bar each time the fire expert for record. The Expert qualifications do not have to be earned on back-to-back years (i.e., if a Marine fires Expert during Recruit Training, Sharp Shooter the first year in the Operating Forces, and Expert the third year in the Operating forces, then the Marine rates an Expert badge with a 2nd Award re-qualification bar for the current FY)." Use the orders and instructions that are easily found on the web, and get the good gouge.
