Does Active Federal Service time in another branch of service qualify for the the AGCM?

I served 4 plus years in the USMC. I have a Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal (MCGM) and I am now in the Army. Does the time after my MCGM count towards the Army Good Conduct Medal (AGCM)?

Per the HRC FAQ Sheet regarding the AGCM, only active Federal service time in the Army can qualify a Soldier for the Army Good Conduct Medal (AGCM).
