There's an Army good conduct medal for every three years and a service stripe for your ASU's as well.

I only know of the AGCM which is virtually automatic. I can't speak for the reserves or NG though.

SSG Keven Lahde it's called the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal (ARCAM) and, as had been said, it's for three years of good standing in the AR/NG.
There is also the Armed Forces Reserve Medal (AFRM) which is for every ten years of qualifying service in the AR/NG.

There's also the Armed Reserve Medal. It's awarded for each decade of service in the National Guard or Reserves. Depending on the length of service, a bronze, silver, gold, or bronze and gold hourglass are worn on the suspension ribbon and service ribbon, indicating 10, 20, 30, or 40 years of service, respectively.

1LT (Join to see) Yes Sir. I guess I need to request getting a memo typed up and have it IPERMED so it's official and not me putting on ribbons and medals for the hell of it. Even if it is automatic. CYA they always say.

SSG Keven Lahde - It is always good to find medals you don't have. I found a RGCM on my NGB22(?) several years after I got out.

SPC Casey Ashfield yeah I found out that when I was stationed in California, I was awarded one for 10 years of service in California. I guess I will get one for 20 years in Nevada.

The Navy, Marines (Four years service) and Army (three years service) have hash marks for years on service to be worn on the left lower sleeve of their service uniforms., The Air Force is the only service that doesn't use those hash marks and the only service that has a Longevity Service Ribbon with the basic ribbon for 4 years service and clasps for additional years.
All services including the Army do have a good conduct medal but good conduct over a three year period of course is required.

SFC(P) (Join to see) - The years of service hash marks worn on Your left sleeve on You uniform jacket for the Navy and Marines is four years and always has been, the Army is three years. Good conduct medals for all services are three years, that's not the same thing as years of service hash marks.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter - Ah yes I didn't see that part but yes you are correct on that service stripes are 4 years in corps and 2 in Army, Good cookie is 3 years.

SFC(P) (Join to see) - Yes, and the hash marks for the Marine Corps is spelled out in US Marine Corp, Uniform Regulations, P1020.34G W CH 1-5. ( Army service hash marks are three years ) In all services however even hash marks are for honorable service only and don't confuse that with a good conduct award.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter - Yes I know that I was in the corps for 7 years 4 years active and 3 years reserve. I just thought the beginning of your statement you were stating it was 4 years for a good cookie in the corps so I was a bit confused on that part. But yes being a Drill Sergeant I am pretty spun up on AR 670-1 also for service stripes in the Army which is correct on 3 years.

Awarded every 1-3 years for satisfactory performance.

I do find that interesting as a question...USAF has the Longevity service Award, given I think every 4 yrs, I gather with some type of device on it, I'm uncertain what type, after the initial award...I just figured I'd mention that, even though it's not Army, I don't know about the other svcs....

Yes, the basic ribbon is four years, a bronze oak leaf cluster is added onto the ribbon for each four years past that up to a maximum of Four in which case of 5th being needed a silver oak leaf cluster will replace the bronze clusters.

I follow, I'd realized there was something like that, I'd just never been sure, I think I'd looked up the rule some time back, though I'd forgotten it, when you'd mentioned it just now, I did recall it, I hadn't looked it up for a long time, of course....
