2/12/2009 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Air Force officials have announced the reinstatment of the Good Conduct Medal for exemplary service by enlisted Airmen, here Feb. 11.
Reinstatement of the medal is effective Feb. 11, officials said.
The Air Force Uniform Board announced on Feb. 6, 2006, that the Good Conduct Medal would no longer be awarded. It was thought at the time that the award wasn't needed because nearly all Air Force members are exemplary performers. Previous awardees were permitted to wear the medal.
Meanwhile, the other armed services continued to award Good Conduct Medals to their enlisted members, said Lt. Gen. Richard Y. Newton III, chief of the Air Force's manpower, personnel and services directorate.
