What level of personal interaction has he had with Patient #1, e.g. did they share a smoke together?
No shared tobacco products. They sleep in neighboring cots.
What is the CC for Patient #3?
Similar cold-like symptoms, he is notably pale, and complains of notable leg pain.
Same questions for him as with #2.
Pretty similar except bringing back a little stronger of a URI picture like in the first patient. Vitals in the same ballpark except a little more tachy.
Any rash?

What does Patient #3 have in common with #1 & #2, e.g. shared duty assignments, sleeping quarters, eat together, share smokes, share drinks?
Shared sleeping quarters. You note that after one of the AC units went on the fritz, a large number of the NG soldiers have crammed into one room (with a working AC) to sleep.
Your overall clinical impression of case 3 is that of a combination of cases 1 & 2.

They have Kennel cough, or shipping fever... 'nuff said... take 'em to the 'tube' and make them go away... then board their medic....
