OMG! I’ve been obsessed with this for YEARS! Good conduct medal? What a GD joke. COMBAT RELATED medals, PERIOD.
I served for 4 years & don’t know if I ever was awarded even a good conduct medal. However I did receive a certain pin I was actually unqualified for, even AFTER I was discharged. Sometimes I wondered if anybody in that division of the military had any idea what they were doing.
