Why doesn't the Army give the non-11 series who are doing the 11 series job (like mffjm8509's troops) a temp desgination as an 11 series so they do qualify for the CIB.

I have a friend who was an 11B and served in the 1st of the 509th (OPFOR at Polk) he did so much 13F work that he got another designation as a 13F. I'm thinking if the Army can or will do this in a peace time Army why not go the other way with the 13 series (or other series) that are doing an 11 series job during war time? Of course this would probably open the flood gates for every swinging Richard to get a CIB.

Just a thought.
