in remarks section on dd214 on my discharge it says good conduct medal period commences : 840316 any idea what this means?:confused:
When were you in? Are you still in? This looks like a Date stamp for March 16, 1984 (unless you are MUCH older), Just kidding, but that's what it looks like to me. If you are still in, then I would talk to your admin people and they could explain it.

no that was that date i was discharged. just wondering why it said commencing if i was discharged. i was in from 81 to 84
Did you get in trouble at anytime while you were in? If you did it resets your Good Conduct clock, depending on when it happened. But it does seem weird that they would start it from when you got out. Maybe it is a typo.

Generally that would mean when your GCM period commences, now if you served three years then you rate one GCM and the next one commences on 840316. You must have either been issued one on that day or...
DavBlay,
Good call, I didn't think about that.

Then that is the correct date that you GCM period commences! That's in case you would have went active duty in another branch of service. It don't mean nothing now!
