Choose one of the following two case studies and answer the questions that follow.

Case Study 1:
After parade, Mitchells squad gathered for dinner before heading home. They were examining CD-ROM games which one of them had just bought. While they were taking their meals, a regular at the coffee-shop came to their table. He offered them an opportunity to play computer games at his home nearby and says that he has a Local Area Network set up and he needs other players. Mitchell, as the most senior NCO, is interested. But, he also realises that one has to beware of Greeks bearing gifts. How should Mitchell respond? What do you think are the issues in this case study?

Case Study 2:
During parade, Thomas noticed that one of his squad Boys, Darrell, appeared to be unusually quiet. Normally, Darrell would be one of the more enthusiastic boys in the squad. During soccer, Darrell uncharacteristically lashed out at his opponent after what seemed to be an ordinary challenge for the ball. Darrell was sent off and stormed off the pitch. How should you Thomas react to what you he haves witnessed? What do you think are the issues in this case study?
