You may only wear a CIB if you

a: deployed for 30 days or more continuously in a designated combat zone

b: came into direct contact with an enemy force engaging you, regardless of the amount of time you spent in a combat zone

AND..

Hold either an 11 series (infantry) or 18 series (Special Forces) MOS. Nobody else is authorised to wear it.
