Army Good Conduct Medal
 The
Good Conduct Medal is awarded to any enlisted member of the
United States military (except U.S. Air Force personnel after
2006) who completes three consecutive years of "honorable
and faithful service". Such service implies that a
standard enlistment was completed without any non-judicial
punishments, disciplinary infractions, or court martial
offenses. If a service member commits an offense, the
three-year mark "resets" and a service member must
perform an additional three years of discipline free service
before the Good Conduct may be authorized.
Service for the
Good Conduct Medal must be performed on active duty and the
medal is not awarded to members of the military reserve or
National Guard who are not federalized to active service. For
those Reserve and Guard members who satisfactorily perform
annual training and drill duty, however, a separate series of
Reserve Good Conduct Medals may be awarded in lieu.
During times of
war, the Good Conduct Medal may be awarded for one year of
faithful service. The Good Conduct Medal may also be awarded
posthumously, to any soldier killed in the line of duty.
