You were not a grunt, so your sadness about not getting a CIB falls on deaf ears to this former Grunt. You walked in the middle of the formation and slept in the middle of the NDP, never pulled guard duty, never pulled LP, carried far less gear, never walked point, chopped out a LZ with a machete, and only did (at most) 5 months in the field. Bet you never even fired your rifle in combat. If you wanted a 11 B MOS to get the coveted CIB all you had to do is raise your hand.
