The Good Conduct Medal, each one specific to one of the six branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, is currently awarded to any active-duty enlisted member of the United States military who completes three consecutive years of “honorable and faithful service.” Such service implies that a standard enlistment was completed without any non-judicial punishment, disciplinary infractions, or court-martial offenses.
