I'd definately agree to that. It seems that you can get a medal for doing your job, and nothing more (which is good, but not worthy of getting a medal).
Royal Canadian Army Cadets have the possibility at getting 5 medals - Medal of Bravery, Lord Starthcona (for exceptional work done to benefit the cadets' corps), Canadian Legion's Medal of Excellence (for excellent work done both inside and outside cadets), Long Service Medal (for 5 years of service), MajGen. Howard (for getting top marks on the National Star in the province).
THAT'S IT. Nothing for doing your job, nothing for doing what you should have done anyway.
Lastly, if you have to whine about getting medals, then you're not worthy of getting them in the first place.
