Description A significant recognition of steadfast service, the U.S. Coast Guard Good Conduct Medal celebrates three consecutive years of honorable and faithful service rendered specifically on behalf of the U.S. Coast Guard. This pin version of the U.S. Coast Guard Good Conduct Medal is suitable for display or to be carried as a memento by the recipient or the recipient’s family and comrades-in arms. This pin upholds the significance of the U.S. Coast Guard Good Conduct Medal. The U.S. Coast Guard Good Conduct Medal honors enlisted soldiers who distinguish themselves from among fellow soldiers by exemplary conduct, efficiency, and fidelity during a three-year period of active military service or for a one-year period of service during a time of war, and there must have been no convictions of court martial during this period. Candidates must have no convictions by court-martial or non-judicial punishment (NJP) during this period. If an offense occurs, the three-year eligibility period restarts. This pin is minted with an antique patina for exceptional quality and detail. The obverse features the colors of the Coast Guard Good Conduct Medal ribbon, imbued with bold enamel, with the U.S. Coast Guard motto “SEMPER PARATUS,” a latin phrase meaning “Always Ready”. This item measures 1.25 x 0.75 inches in size.
