actually the awards for overseas cadets onli. and if u look at who's among the overseas cadets... it isn't actually too surprising... those who went thru ocs would also know that even ocs's own overseas cadets (from regional countries) do get awarded. but sometimes... we do know if they really deserve it or it's just for "presentation".
still, they did us proud. and credits must be given to them for the tough training.
