Can National Guard soldiers still receive GWOTSM?

Your State G1 office should have an awards section that would also have access to all your personnel records. I would recommend having them run through your orders and make a determination for you. I had to do that after they changed the dates for campaign stars on some of mine so my DD-214 would be as up to date as possible as I retired. Very helpful people, at least in the Great State of Arizona.

And on top of that don't you qualify for your National Defense service medal?

After basic training in 2008 I was given the GWOT, Army Service Ribbon, and the National Defense ribbon. Every person graduating from basic was given those 3 awards.

What is a GWOT? Sounds like a fart gone bad

For a medal that "everybody" gets the regs are unnecessarily complex. Basically, you need 30 days of active service in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Sorry, but you time in drill status does not count as active service. If you are a medal hound I suggest you volunteer to go on a deployment or an active duty tour on MOBCOP and you should get it then.

The U.S. Army's regulations state that all soldiers "on active duty, including Reserve Component Soldiers [sic] mobilized, or Army National Guard Soldiers activated on or after 11 September 2001 to a date to be determined having served 30 consecutive days or 60 nonconsecutive days are authorized the GWOTSM." The GWOT-SM was awarded automatically to all service members on Active Duty between 11 September 2001 and 31 March 2004. While the award is no longer automatic, the termination "date to be determined" has not been set. The Battalion Commander is the approval authority for the GWOT-SM. Service members are still eligible for the medal provided they meet the criteria in AR 600-8-22.

U.S. Army soldiers serving on active duty primarily in a training status (basic training, advanced individual training, officer training courses, etc.…) are not authorized award of the GWOT-SM for the active duty time they are in training. The criteria for the awards specifically states that a Soldier has to serve on active duty in support of a designated GWOT operation (Operation Noble Eagle ["ONE"], Operation Enduring Freedom ["OEF"], Operation Iraqi Freedom ["OIF"], Operation New Dawn ["OND"], Operation Inherent Resolve ["OIR"], and Operation Freedom's Sentinel ["OFS"]) for 30 consecutive days or 60 nonconsecutive days. Army soldiers in a training status are not considered to be supporting these designated operations.

It was awarded to most BCT/AIT classes until 2013. Active or reserve. however, as it's been said before, the BN CMDR is the approval authority. My unit is on rotation in Korea right now and ours gave every soldier the GWOT.

I have no idea,. being Air Force, I wish all Rally troops would stop using accronyms. Never could spell. has to be a spell check on this system some place!! Help.

My NCO support channel told me I was awarded the GWOTSM during AIT. I mean it's in my DD 214 now but idk when I got it. I was on orders as a resverist activated for 11 months.
