Can a non-infantry officer serving as in an 11A slot wear the eib?
Yes, a non-infantry officer serving in an 11A slot, which is typically an infantry officer position, can wear the Expert Infantryman Badge (EIB) if they meet the required criteria and successfully complete the EIB testing. The EIB is open to personnel across various Army branches and is based on individual performance, not specific occupational specialties or positions.
Can non infantry mos wear expert infantry badge?
With few exceptions, no. If you earn the EIB (or CIB) as an infantryman, then you reclass to another MOS, you can still wear it. If you earn the EIB as a non-11 series MOS, then reclass to infantry, you should be eligible to wear it. If you test for it as a non-11 Series, and never reclass to infantry, you can't wear it, even if you complete the testing. However, if you do complete the testing, you should be able to use the points towards promotion.

What is the US Army's expert infantry medal?
It's the Expert Infantry Badge (not medal). Infantry soldiers are tested on a series of 40 (if I remember correctly) tasks... if they complete those 40 tasks, plus the physical fitness test and a 12 mile road march, they get awarded their EIB. It's a Category I badge, and those were worth 15 promotion points when I went to the E5 board years ago... the promotion points system might not be the same now as it was then. You're only authorized to wear it if you have an 11 (Infantry) or 18 (Special Forces) series MOS - although persons outside of those occupations may go through EIB testing, they won't be authorized to wear the EIB if they successfully complete the testing, although the points can be counted towards promotion - I could never wear the EIB, but I got the 15 promotion points credited to me at my E5 board.
Can you wear your EIB after reclassing and leaving the Infantry?
Yes. It is a skill badge you were awarded, and you'll always be permitted to wear it, even if you don't remain in the infantry. Just like you would still wear jump wings if you were jump qualified, but serving in a leg unit. You don't lose your EIB simply for reclassing - however, you may have to fight to have the promotion points from your EIB counted at your promotion board, especially if you're going to a POG unit. Those promotion points are still valid, regardless of what MOS you hold at the time of your promotion board - don't forget that.
Can a soldier reclassing from infantry with a CIB or EIB still wear the blue cord after the reclass process is complete?
The EIB or CIB, you can wear after you reclass. The blue cord, however, may not be worn once you reclass, nor are the blue discs worn behind the infantry branch insignia worn with any other branch insignia.
Can you wear the Expert Infantryman badge if you have a combat infantryman badge?
You can only wear one at a time - they can't be worn together. With or without a CIB, the only way you'd be authorised to wear the EIB is if you've tested for and were awarded it. If you havn't done this, you can't wear the EIB, even if you have a CIB.
Can former mari inantrymen wear the EIB?
The Marine Corps doesn't have an award which is equivalent to the Army's EIB. You'd have to hold an 11 or 18 series MOS while serving in the Army and pass the EIB testing in order to be eligible to wear it.
Can you wear the blue EIB on the ACU?
No. The only time this is done is a matter of local policy, where the unit might dictate that those who were awarded the EIB previously (and thus aren't testing for it) wear it during the period in which EIB testing is taking place.
Can you wear the EIB if you have a CIB?
The EIB and the CIB are both military designations. When they have been earned, they can be worn. There is a limitation to the number of medals or ribbons that can be worn on a uniform.
Can you wear your previously awarded EIB on your now enlisted Navy uniform?
No.
What award do you wear on your class a uniform CIB or EIB if you have both?
Technically, you have your own discretion to wear whichever one you choose. However, if you've been awarded a CIB, and choose instead to wear an EIB you've earned, you can expect your chain of command to not be particularly thrilled about it.
