The Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal was first issued in 1896 and was originally a ribbon and medal suspensed from a clasp bearing the words "U.S. Marine Corps".The clasp was eliminated after 1935 and the medal has remained unchanged in appearance since that time.
The Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal is awarded to the enlisted members of Regular Marine Corps or Marine Corps Reserve to recognize their good behavior and faithful service in the U.S. Marine Corps on selective basis, while on active duty for a specified period of time.
Enlistment bars, showing each honorable period of service, were used until 1953 when the Marine Corps adopted service stars to denote additional awards of the Good Conduct Medal.
