Assuming that you're close to the source of this new info, have you any idea if applications can be submitted for this new qualifying period yet?

Load of crap.

Really?

The review for ACSM qualifying criteria is still ongoing. No decision has been made whatsoever.

I'm sort of glad about this. I'm not sure of how many days I've got, but after an 8 month tour and a 2 year residential of NI, and 6 months in Iraq, I know I'm close to qualifying. To decrease the amount of days needed to be awarded this medal would decrease its significance IMO. Not only that, they won't be as rare in 5-10 years from now.

I also hope the qualifying period stays the same. I think NATO and UN tours should count towards it though.

Agreed and very much agreed (spot the bloke who’s done a few ‘non queens head’ tours :D :D )

Maybe with the exception of the 'Ice Cream' tour of Cyprus!!

Fair one!

Schoey was in the Traf last night. Bit busy to say the least!

Grafter Schoey! I take it he's still living in Farnham then? He's a good bloke he is. Saved me from being locked up last year!
