Long Service Awards Regulations.

willie777 · 03-15-2008, 08:58 AM

Are the irreproachable service and veteran of the armed forces medals retroactive? I mean, if someone had over the number of service years required for the medal the day it was instituted, would it still be awarded to them? I mean, if someone had over 15 but under 20 years of service in 1958 would they be awarded the 10 and 15 year medals right away, or not and have to wait until several years later to get the 20 year medal? If someone have more than 25 years of service in 1976, would they be awarded the veteran of armed forces medal?

Also, was the veteran of labor medal awarded for armed forces retirement?
