From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

what year did the gold service stripes become a part of the Enlisted Navy Uniform? Has it always depicted twelve or more years of good conduct? I have heard from old timers that they could be worn after eight years of good conduct. Please provide the history of the Gold Hash Marks. Thank you.
