The U.S. Air Force didn't start giving a separate Good Conduct Medal until 1963, although it was first authorized in 1960. Until 1963, USAF personnel received the U.S. Army's version of the Good Conduct Medal. The Air Force decided to quit giving the Good Conduct Medal in 2006 because they felt that good conduct is expected among its airman, thus making the medal inappropriate. Air Force personnel who won the medal are still authorized to wear it.
