Have other prior service members automatically received a Joint Service Commendation Medal when switching services?

I am currently active duty Army, but was previously active duty Marines. I dropped off all my COAs and commendations and basically everything I had from before at S1. I followed up with them a couple times and the NCOIC of the shop concerned with me over the phone that everything was uploaded and should reflect on my SRB in a few days. So far the only thing that has shown up is a JSCM. I did not have this award before and I am wondering if this is a mistake or if this is something other prior service members have received.

There is no automatic Joint Service Commendation Medal, obviously.
Do you have a Joint Meritorious Unit Award that they could have mistaken for that in the drop down?

Nothing is earned by switching services. Joint Commendations come from Joint Service as in operations, not transition. These are your records ensure to keep copies and periodically verify what is posted. Thank you for your service.

I didn't realize how much schooling and training was not on my DD214 until I got out is there a way for a servicemember to check when they are actually in?
