Which ribbon would a cadet receive to denote their overall excellence and performance?

The Distinguished Cadet Ribbon is awarded to recognize a cadet who demonstrates overall excellence and outstanding performance in various aspects of their training and activities. This award signifies not just a high level of achievement but also reflects the cadet's commitment to excellence, leadership, and the principles of the program. Receiving this ribbon indicates that the cadet has gone above and beyond in their dedication, participation, and performance, setting a standard for others in the program to aspire to. The emphasis on "overall excellence" is what distinctly aligns this award with recognizing a cadet's comprehensive capabilities and contributions rather than a specific achievement or area of performance.
