Confusing codes for Air Force decorations assistance

[reddit]

Hi all,

My grandfather passed away and I’m trying to help my family get things in order. He retired from the air force a MSGT after 20 years and 4 years in the NAVY. His decorations medals and badges are confusing and I can’t seem to find a an online reference so I figured I would ask the detectives of Reddit for help. Any ideas what the following are? I am writing the codes how I see them but numbered for clarity.

1. AFGCM - Air Force good conduct medal
2. 2&3 GLC - (14 mar 70 - 13 mar 73 & 14 mar 73 - 13 mar 76)
3. AFM 900-3
4. AFLSA
5. 3&4 DLC
6. AFM 900-3 (appears twice on dd-214)

I also distinctly remember seeing a Vietnam service ribbon on his uniform and box 19 “indochina or Korea service since August 5, 1964” is checked “yes”. I tried to look this up and was able to find legal documents from VA claims which seem to indicate that he was indeed in Vietnam as he says he was. In addition to this his “foreign and/or sea service”
