PaulR Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Very nice tribute to your relatives. So- how many years of service were required for the Navy Long Service Medal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So- how many years of service were required for the Navy Long Service Medal? It changes from time to time but at the time they were awarded them it was 18 years service.

PaulR Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Wow. Long time versus the three years for ours now. What is the standard now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Brown Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Taken from the Gov.UK website An other rank who completes 15 years reckonable service from date of attestation or age 17½, whichever is later, and is a holder of all 3 good conduct badges, shall be eligible for consideration provided that their character has continuously not been lower than ‘very good’. There are a number of offences / misconduct which would normally preclude award of the LS and GCM. Awards are only made after a comprehensive check of a sailor’s record of service. As this medal requires the recommendation of the individuals’ commanding officer, it can only be awarded to serving personnel. Any other rank who, subsequent to award of the Medal, goes on to complete a further 15 years service shall be eligible for award of the clasp to the LS and GCM provided that the conduct / discipline criteria have been met. An officer shall be eligible for award of the LS and GCM if 12 or more of the 15 years service has been in the ranks and provided that the other criteria have been met. An officer shall be eligible for award of the clasp if 22 or more of the 30 years service has been in the ranks and provided that the other criteria have been met. Prior to 1 December 1977, 18 years service was required for consideration for the LS and GCM. Edited March 21, 2016 by Peter Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
