"The United States Army awards each stripe for three years service, while the United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, and United States Coast Guard award each stripe for four years of duty. In contrast to the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, a service stripe is presented to enlisted personnel upon completion of the specified term of service, regardless of the service member\u2019s disciplinary history. For example, a soldier with several non-judicial punishments and courts-martial would still receive a service stripe for three years service, whereas in the same situation, the Good Conduct Medal would be denied."@en . . .
