Loyalty Dilemma Bob is the commander of the High School Army Junior ROTC Drill Team. This position gave him the responsibility of deciding which cadets would march each of the events in an upcoming drill competition. Among the cadets on the Drill Team, Bob had friends, foes, and some that fell in between. All of the positions had been assigned except for one-an individual event that was quite an honor to be given. It was obvious to Bob that Andy and John were the top two cadets on the team. Andy was Bob's friend of fifteen years, while John and Bob only tolerated each other for the sake of the Drill Team. As commander, it was Bob's call as to which cadet would march the event. He decided to arrange an informal audition between Andy and John for the position. Both cadets performed equally well at the audition so Bob had to turn to his prior knowledge of both candidates. Andy had a tendency to "choke" under the pressure when all eyes were upon him. John, on the other hand, had a reputation for remaining solid in front of the judges. Bob was at a loss on making a decision. Should he give the role to John, who appeared to be the better cadet for the job at the risk losing Andy's friendship? Or should he give Andy another chance to prove himself?
