Quote: ". Due to the rigid testing procedures, many holders of the EIB value it more than the CIB. ".. I'm afraid I cant agree with that bit. At least during WW 2. How
about it Roque, and you, Watson, agree with that??? The CIB , and the Combat Medic
Badge are earned the "real hard way" . Not from a classroom test, or a few hikes, or
a day at the rifle range plus other testing and at days end hot chow and a beer to celibrate passing a test and then back to a nice warm bed. Sure, just maybe a few
didnt truely "earn" a CIB in reality during WW 2 but almost all sure did earn it.. My
CIB is my most cherishted award of all I recieved.
