We called it the medal for four years of undetected crime.
When I was on active duty they gave them out every four years, now I heard they changed it to three.
See: good conduct medal history for history on that medal. It appears to have always been a three year service award, except during wartime, where it can be awarded for one year of service.

boy, isn't that the truth! Ha ha. UCMJ/regulations and Missions usually contradict one another. If you want to accomplish the mission on time with available resources, there is usually at least one regulation broken. Good Commanders will know the difference between a soldier "enhancing" the unit and the detrimental soldier.
have a great evening.
