I saw the injustice of CIB award. Increasingly committed to Vietnam.I was a Signal Officer who commanded a unit that awarded CIB to my subordinates. From 1966 to 1969, communist North Korea stepped up raids along the demilitarized zone to test the resolve of a U.S. Veterans of the 2nd and 7th infantry divisions that saw the brunt of the fighting call it the DMZ War for the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea.

I made it in 1978 at the base wood hobby shop. Note the custom stick I am wearing. This was during a change of command ceremony at MAG29, 2nd Marine Air Wing. When I arrived, all that MCB Lejeune and New River had were sedans, 1/2 ton Chevy and Dodge Pick-Ups, Dodge M880 1 1/4 Ton Pick-ups and Dodge Vans equipped as Paddy Wagons, all equipped with radios and blue light bars.This photo was taken in Jan 82 the Sneeds Ferry Gate, Camp Lejeune, NC, just one month prior to transferring over to CID.This photo was taken at MCAS (H) New River, NC, in 1980 while assigned to Traffic Division. Accordingly, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) may now recognize all.I am the Infantry, the first of the three.Approaching a crossroads, what do we see?And I thought everyone followed the threeGuarding the crossroads, waiting for the three.Just my partner, a sixteen, a sixty and me.Who held this ground so they could run free,Written by SGT Allan Perkins, 1982 (an MP)I thought this was pretty good, and since the CMP was next to Ft McClellan, one of the homes of the MP School I thought I'd post it.We didn't have the M151 Series Jeeps at MCAS (H) New River or MCB Camp Lejeune, NC, when I left MP School Ft McClellan in Feb 78. For veterans seeking serviceVETSFIRST hopes that you will find this KNOWLEDGE BOOK helpful and a useful.

After Jump School I went to the 82nd MP Company 82nd ABN Div. Paid $11.00 at Onslow Guns for my first badge and still have it.I went to MP School in '66 at Ft Gordon. We didn't even have issue badges or Sam Browne Black duty gear in 1978, had to buy our own or wear the white cotton web belt and flap holster. If the Provost Marshal approved it, you could carry it. Things were different back then.

He stated in a phone conversation that the sign is of U.S. Army Military Police Corps Museum at Ft. I'll get them scanned and come back to post them.In reference to the photo of the MP sign I posted on page #3 of this thread:I have been in contact with the Director of the U.S.

I think the 2nd was in Korea in the 50s. It is veryClearly the insignia for the US Army 2nd Logistical command, but the design isI did some digging but can't find anything relating the 704th to the 2ndLogistical Command. However, I discovered what the circular design is and itHere is a link to the listing of known US units in Australia in WW2, and theI had a feeling about the circular design behind the ordnance bomb. As I said, I originally thought it is mostLikely a building or door sign used by the MP detachment assigned to the 704thAt Camp Murphy. The Director is still working on the history of the sign, but this is the most recent info he sent in an email this afternoon.It is indeed an interesting sign.

A Marine MP was assigned to ride with me. I was working as a cop in Downtown Anchorage when the Fleet was in town. Some Cops like to play practical jokes. They now have combat action badges.Good thing about SP duty on the first day in a foreign port was that we worked with the local police and got to know where to go and have the most fun when not on SP duty.That's not a real good idea. The CIB is the Combat INFANTRY Badge no Combat I WAS IN DANGER BADGE].You need a Infantry MOS and serve in Combat as an infantry man to get the CIB.

The paper in my hand says he was a Truck Driver, yeah aTruck driver. It appears I forgot to tell them that the two I hooked him up with were tranny's.Marines and Paratroopers don't play well together.Sorry to tell you but I was asked to research my wife's Grandfathers Military history. Seems there was a couple Marines looking for me. Sure says I, I contacted a couple I knew (who were my CIs), and set him up.The next night I came to work, my sgt told me I had to work in Eagle River (way out of town) until the fleet left.

He's been dead 10 years and never ever talked to anybody about itYes I know, my Father was more proud of his and my brothers CIB than he was of his Silver Star, that CIB meant the world to him. He was 12B Combat Engineer but when he got there they needed Infantry on the DMZ, when he came home his class As were all Blue, shoulder cord crossed rifles etc.I have my wife's grandfathers discharge right here if anyone wants to see it. Just because your trained in a certain mos dosent mean your serve in it, you'll be assigned by the needs of the Army, my brother found that out in Korea. So he wasn't a 11B and he didn't serve 3 years for the Good Conduct. Under awards in black and white he received the CIB, Bronze Star, and Phillipine Liberation medal with 1 star the battle of Luzon, and a Good Conduct.

I knew he'd quit, but he didn't want me to finish first.Everyone who earns a CIB feels the same way to this day.Sorry to tell you but I was asked to research my wife's Grandfathers Military history. I was first alternate, the other guy got hurt and didn't finish. As a MP I carried the M16, M203, M60, M21 fired the M2, did section and resection, Air Assault, E&E, and raced a Suzuki RM250, 370 and a Suzuki PE250.Myself and another guy were the first 2 95Bs, to be sent to PNCOC/CA at Ft Hood.

But the Army protects the CIB more than any other warfare device. Under awards in black and white he received the CIB, Bronze Star, and Philippine Liberati.That may have been the criteria then, it isn't now, and I have no idea when it changed. He served with the antitank unit 129th Infantry in the Pacific.
