Disrespected while correcting a Soldier, how would you handle this situation?

Assuming you're JAG, the only reason the soldier wore cammies was because he was fat or lazy. ASUs are for his benefit, showing his resume on the ribbons, thus aligning with a jury of his peers.

Either way, as a defense attorney it looks bad on you for a POS to be in the wrong uniform, so I agree with your reaction.

The civilian had no authority over you, or respect for the situation.

He's getting court martialed, which most likely means dishonorable discharge, which means he's screwed as is. I'd let it go. He's only screwing himself anyeay

He would have gotten the mess beat out of him.

Old school corrective action would be first to take that "Civilian" out to the back of the CONEX and correct that attitude quickly. Second, I would jack that disrespecting POS up and rip that uniform off his butt. But that was then and in today's world and Military you give them a cupcake and a glass of kool aide and wait till night to get your revenge.

Add a few more charges. Stack them as high as he wants.

Proceed with the court martial. If the soldier wants to be an idiot then remember soldier is already getting court martialed and more then likely discharged.

A million years ago, I was temporarily as signed to be an escort at a restricted barracks. My basic job was to muster, and keep track of the various working parties the Sailors were assigned to. Usually this consisted of following a group around while half of them smoked and the other half picked up butts.

One day I came in, and there was a Lance Corporal standing in the P-way at parade rest. and all the Chiefs were in the office yelling at each other. I walked in and the Chief yelled at me "That guy out there is YOUR problem... get him checked in, and YOU deal with him, I don't want to hear about him..." So I did. He was a simple AWOL case, he just wanted out of the Marines. During his check in the XO (female) screamed at him ( and me...) about how while in a Naval Facility he would abide by Naval regulation at all times...

Now, this guy, never caused any problems. Was polite, easy going, Always ready, and even held classes on how to "Properly shine boots" Totally good guy by all respects, he just didn't want to be in the Corps any more... No problems. Until the day of his Mast case...

As luck would have it, I had a medical appointment, previously discussed, and was a little late getting back to the barracks. My Chief knew this and assured me it would be okay and if anything happened one of the other escorts would handle it... And when I get back, he starts yelling that this guys mast case was moved up and I had 5 minutes to get him down to the XO's office.

And when I go to get ol' Lance Corporal, he is in Dress White Crackerjacks... Um, WTF? And he's just standing there at parade rest... "Hey, Chief? You might want to come see this..." STFU, I'm busy, just get him down to the XO... "No, really Chief...." "DAMNITGETHIMDOWNTHEREIDONTWANNAHEARANYBULLSHIT..." "Aye Aye Chief..."

I thought the XO was going to explode. I really did. I've seen bad shit happen, and her shitstorm was worse than any thing I've ever seen.

His reasoning? "Ma'am, you gave me a direct order to follow Naval protocol and the Marines are part of the Navy, so I'm in a Naval Uniform..."

As previously stated, obviously a reason the troop was due in court to begin with. I'd let the position of the court handle it with ALL due respect! Contempt of court reigns slightly higher than one would think and the court would probably oblige the CPT for remaining calm, with some time in the brig for the young lad!

Beat said soldier with a sock filled with bars of soap, go gomer pile on his ass

Remember old school military? Ask any Vietnam vet!

The civilian would have been told where to go on the spot quietly, respectfully and escorted out of the area as required. Then I would have been forced to follow through with official in writing reprimand of said civilian with appropriate civilian authorities. As for the Soldier with the same attitude as the inappropriate civilian...I would have done everything possible to make him available to be a worthless civilian instead of a worthless member of the military network. You can't save every member of the military, and the attitude of this one strongly suggests to me he belong in the category of not able to be salvaged.

After being in the civilian world long enough you realize how absolutely worthless a lot of the military dog and pony show is. You begin to realize that it at all actually hinders work getting done not promotes it. Civilians don't have time for all the military bullshit because in the real world you succeed or fail based on your skills not based on how well you can answer random questions about regulations and dress yourself. So I know where the civilian was coming from.

In today's sjw politics I feel you are fighting the good fight with your hands tied. At the same time this soldier lost his drive and nothing you do is going to correct that, put him out of yours and his misery put him out swiftly. He is on his way out with that court martial.

Then if pushing don't work, fuck it, write him up on another 15. Clearly this member doesn't give a shit about his career. Bury him in paperwork so a BCD or DD are his only options.

Everyone on your face and push until you die.

Who gives a fuck? The guy was getting court-martialed already and was surely on his way out.

Was it his court martial? I'd just let nature take its course at that point.

I'd get over myself... This Soldier is being Court Martial'd what do you expect?

I see the original post is pretty old. SFC (Join to see), what finally happened to the soldier who showed up in the incorrect uniform?

I hope he was counseled and booted out of the Army. As for the Air Force Civilian, she should have known better than to stick her nose into military business. Hope her supervisor set her straight.

Hmm. Sounds like a courtesy patrol scenario...
