I am Prior Service Marine Corps and now in the Army, I am trying to put together my ribbon stack and do not know the order of precedence for my Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. I have inputted my ribbons in websites that do it although they only do it for individual branches. I swapped out the Marine good conduct for the Army's good conduct
My ribbons are Army Good Conduct Ribbon
National Defense Service Medal Ribbon
Global War Terrorism Service Ribbon
Armed Forces Service Ribbon
Army Service Ribbon

and the Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon trying to figure out where it goes within the order.

I switched as well. You are not authored an Army GCM in lieu of your USMC GCM. Wear your Marine GCM proudly.

Just go to Rackbuilder and plug in your awards, it will show you how everything should look, accoutrements and all. I highly suggest in the future you purchase their thin ribbons with magnetic backing, it will make your life easier and the price is comparable to purchasing all the awards individually and piecing them together, and it will look a whole lot better

You still wear the Marine Good Conduct Medal as that is what you earned. Standby and I'll get you an order of precedence and the accompanying reg.

For future reference, If you earn an Army Good Conduct Medal it will be placed higher in precedence than your Marine GCM.
