A good conduct medal is issued to practically all military personnel. It’s the equivalent of a certificate of appreciation for doing nothing more than your job. Everybody has one unless you are the ultimate looser. It takes up space and is basically meaningless. If he doesn’t wear one I understand why. I got one for finishing basic training and AIT. Trust me. They’re meaningless unless you don’t have any metals at all at which time you sport it with pride.
Incorrect. As pointed out earlier, commissioned officers do not receive good conduct medals.
Everybody has one unless you are the ultimate looser.(sic)
Even if you're a loser, you usually have to avoid NJP in order to merit one.
I got one for finishing basic training and AIT.
Depending on when you served, how many years did it take you to complete basic and AIT? The usual qualifying period of service for a GCM is three years.
They’re meaningless unless you don’t have any metals(sic) at all at which time you sport it with pride.
The significance of GCMs and good spelling are lost on individuals who possess mediocre standards.
Some of us sent our Good Conduct Medals BACK to our Congressman upon Jimmuh Kkkatuh’s draftdodger pardon.
