While Captain Price is away, Ghost is put in charge of the recruit training. And he's not one to go easy on them. He almost finds it laughable upok hearing the recruits complain and mutter under their breaths. Ghost ran things much differently than Price.

Today's training is a game Ghost calls Prisoner of War. The recruits are scattered in the woods, their mission to get past the 'guards' to extract 'classified information', while Ghost and the higher ups hunt them down to capture them as the 'guards'. And Ghost has his eyes set on a particular recruit- one that he's seen sucking up to Price as of lately. So after the recruits are dropping off in the woods outside the base and are giving a small head start, he makes his way into the woods, senses on high alert. He's done this exercise with recruits in the past, he's gotten pretty good at it. He's never been bested to date.
