hi..you should ask him what's going wrong with him..also self-muttering without any reason is a sign of some mental illness..so try to acquire some more information about him from his colleagues if possible..also history of any psychiatric problem before joining army is important..please consult a psychiatrist after gathering these collateral information..wish him good health..

Self-muttering may be an early sign of psychosis. So keep him in close observation and look for any other behavioral abnormality. Try to talk to him about his feelings. You may convince him to go to a psychiatrist just for a routine check up.
best of luck.
