Are IRR members eligible for the Reserve Good Conduct Medal?
The Coast Guard Reserve Good Conduct Medal is issued to Reserve enlisted members who earn at least 70 retirement points during each of three consecutive anniversary years in the Coast Guard Reserve. You may earn 70 points a year in the IRR by drilling for non-pay, but many members would rather drill for pay if they are training that much in a year. See the question on returning to SELRES if you are interested in drilling or the question on drilling for non-pay.
