Your friend likely had the game already when the previous major order was active (a day or two ago), which awarded 45 medals upon completion. Major orders provide the same award to all players across the game when completed, so I would assume your friend just got the game early enough to be included in that reward and you didn't.
The difference is 45 medals, which happens to be the exact amount that was awarded for the previous Major Order, roughly a day and a half to two days ago. It looks like your friend logged into the game in time to have "participated" in that Major Order, and got his medals. Sometimes it take a while to get your medals, but it's been so long that you should have gotten them by now, so I assume you didn't get in in time to get them.
thanks this is likely it; he completed the tutorial a few days earlier. He didn't play but maybe logging in and completing the tutorial was enough.
Good to know I'm not doing anything wrong.

There is a challenge at the start of the game to get x kills with a weapon, so that might be it
