Answer 1

Q6- During a recon mission for strikes on terrorist hideouts, we needed info about some areas which we were not able to see through drone or sattelite imaging, So i went to the hideouts posing as a journalist who wanted to interview the commander and pass on his message to the world. It was risky as it could have led to a hostage situation but we managed to make the operation a success.

Q7- While i was working in a security company which was providing security for a sports organization, i was tempted by one of the players to watch the game instead of looking at the security cover and ensuring adequate safety measures inside and outside the stadium.

Q8- In one of my previous jobs, I was not satisfied with the life i had at the workplace. The food was terrible and the superiors didn't seem to care. They were also not open to taking any suggestions for improving work life for their employees. As a veteran, i was able to handle this situation but life at work could have been better if the employees were taken care of and listened to by their superiors.

Q9- The biggest goal that i achieved was the successful destruction of terrorist hideouts during a counter terrorism operation. I had to go undercover as a journalist to gather more information about the terrain, the weapons and the number of hostiles. Once all info was gathered, i reported the same to my superior who ordered strikes on these hideouts asap. This was a huge success and morale booster for the team.

Q10- While i was working for in the security cover for a famous singer, we faced problems of crowd control while entering the performance venue. It was for students in a college who got much too excited and hounded the car while we were entering. Seeing the potential security risk, i got down from the car with a few of my team members and cordoned off a suffcient area to allow the car to pass. I also announced on loudspeaker that the singer would perform only if the crowd dispersed. The students then moved allowing us to cordon off the area and get the singer inside the venue. We then set up a proper security check with multiple members to ensure that unsuitable people did not enter the premises. We seriously scolded the managing authority for such mismanagement of the crowd!
