"I AM THE INFANTRY! SWALLOW ME!" 
Rangers and SF (minus 18D Medics) earn Combat Infantryman Badges (while docs earn Combat Medical Badges). SF don't wear blue ropes, but they're still foot soldiers at the front, closing with and destroying in close combat by, with, and through our indige and allies. I don't know whether infantry MOS guys will earn CIBs in the advisor brigades but they did during Vietnam.

I was 1-501. 2008-2011. The new museum is awesome. As others said it was a very humbling experience to visit there during OSUT. We spent a half day there with our drill SGT's and I took my parents and wife back after graduating before I started airborne school. |

Also mirrors what I have seen. Also to add, Rangers have SOPMOD accessorized rifles, whereas conventional inf. do not. I joined in '01. If you went Ranger you signed an 11x contract like anyone else. You just went to RIP after Airborne School and either passed and went to a battalion or failed and went to Ft Bragg. It wasn't a separate MOS like 18-series. That being said, they were still under SOCOM and had been for some time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Infantry = 11X Their are 11x's in Airborne, Ranger Regiment and conventional Infantry. You can be a paratrooper and be 11x with 82nd, 101st, etc. If you are not 11x, you are not infantry. This especially applies to motor T. NO ONE leaves Benning as an 11X . No one. There no 11X in any unit outside of training at Benning. It is impossible for that to happen. |

158 Infantry MOS 111 this was called the Picket fence and was Infantry until 1960. Then 6th U S Infantry Berlin Brigade 11B 196062.
Then break in service for college . Graduate from U of AZ with degree in Asian Studies in 24 more years of service all over the place in 4 different MOS'es but in 1992 retire as an 11B. In 1992 I place my Blue Cord on my son's shoulder at Sand Hill. |

11B C2 here. Became an 11B after graduating AIT at FT Polk in early '74 -- 'cause that's where they did it in those days. Did go to Benning straight from Polk, though. Got to go finally through Infantry training at FT Benning nine years later, when I became an 11A. Missed my only chance to get a CIB in Desert Storm because I wasn't filling a billet for which it was authorized. |

One of my previous PSGs is a mello easy going guy. Mention Bergdahl and he turns into Randy Macho Man Savage. Our company had a 42% casualty rate. It was reported as the highest casualty rate for a company sized unit since the Vietnam war in the news. Anyway, can’t fault anyone in 4/25 who was there https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e2/e8/73/e2e873bd2dfa8bfd247abac0fb8f64dd.gif |

I thought the entire Army was like the Infantry was, color/creed/sex or orientation didnt matter, you were a brother and treated as such. The rest of the Army will crucify you for the shit that was par for the course in the 11B world. |

He returned my salute and barked out” FOLLOW ME!” .
