Most of Murphy's service was as an enlisted man, though his Medal of Honor came after he accepted a battlefield commission and was commanding a company in the 15th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division. Murphy finished the war as a captain.Some contend today that Major Matt Urban was the most decorated soldier. All of Urban's service was as an officer.

Other than that, you get awarded medals as you've earned them, not for time in service.
