My PSG said he was told that your time no longer stops when it comes to the three years to be eligible for the ARCAM even if you deploy and get the AGCM. While researching this to type up some memorandums for my soldiers that deployed with me I couldn't find anything to support this. All I found was in AR 600-8-22 para 4-18(3) that says it stops when you mobilize ands starts back up when you return to reserve status. Is my research correct or did I miss something

Long story shorter, if you receive a GCMDL for time spent mobilized (for a first award, as short as 1 year) that time constitutes a break for the ARCAM and the service time for the ARCAM resumes at the date of demobilization. If you were on Active duty and did not attain the minimum period for the GCMDL, no break is incurred since there is no duplication of service. Reference is AR 600-8-22 para 4-17b.

I would look online at S1net. This is a group that is a part of Milsuite. There is an Awards FAQ thread that should answer this question and many more.
