If you switch from active to reserve Army can you still wear Expert Infantry Badge?
The question makes it sound like a scenario where one decides to switch from the Regular (active) Army to the Army Reserve in the middle of their enlistment. This cannot be done - you can reenlist into a reserve component after your enlistment in the Regular Army is up, but you can't decide halfway through your enlistment that you want to switch your status to that of a reservist. On the matter of wearing an EIB, yes. You're entitled to wear any skill badges earned regardless of which component of the Army you're in. If you've earned the Expert Infantrymans Badge, Combat Infantrymans Badge, Expert Field Medic Badge, Combat Medic Badges, Combat Action Badge, jump wings, Air Assault wings, Pathfinder Badge, etc., then you're still entitled to wear them if you reenlist for a reserve component of the Army. Same thing with a Ranger tab.
