Cobalt? Isn't that what the chemical warfare guys wear?

Yeah, I wrote a very well written, well supported letter concerning Infantry acctrouaments.

Specifically, it irks me to no end, that as a dismounted Cav Scout, carrying an M-4A1 and a rucksack, just like an 11B, I merely rated a CAB instead of a CIB.

Argh. Institute a Combat Cavalryman Badge.

Apparently, after WWII, designs were drawn up for a Combat Armor, Cavalry, and Artillery badge to go along with th CIB and CFMB.
