But only if the Soldier is discharged. If he is staying on AD, he has to wait 3 years like everyone else.<br />See AR 600-8-22 para 4-5c-e 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 07 Aug 2017 14:45:43 -0400 2017-08-07T14:45:43-04:00 Response by SFC James Heath made Aug 9 at 2017 4:30 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-a-soldier-who-recently-went-active-duty-after-a-break-in-service-from-the-reserves-be-awarded-the-agcm-within-the-first-year-of-ad?n=2816333&urlhash=2816333 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Here you need to ask your unit clerk at AG (adjutant general/personnel). They will have the correct answer. If you qualify they will start the paperwork for the award.
