  2. Dudley L • The sea was calm when Dudley L was taken to the brig, but he stumbled, swayed, and almost fell onto the bunk. He rubbed his eyes, which were already brick-red, and seemed to be trying to determine where he was. "It couldn't be the barracks," he said with a giggle, "there's no Playmate posters on the wall.“ • When his unit boarded a ship for its joint operation with the Navy, Dudley went along.

  3. So, apparently, did several tubes of model airplane cement. At least, those were what Dudley said he had been huffing in the galley at midnight. • As he told his story, he required several sharp commands and at least one good shaking from the first sergeant to keep him from wandering off the subject or falling asleep. His breath smelled like a paint shop.

  4. Dudley – Abuse or Dependence? • Now take the handout and document the symptoms from the case that fit the Abuse Criteria listed on the form. • Due at the end of class.
