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

Turn him over to a couple of big drill sergeants for remedial training. If that don't work there is always a court marshal and long confinement at hard labor. Then kick him or her out of the military dishonorably.

Let's take this highly challenging event out of its' stated context, and place it instead into a hypothetical situation: In a very tense and threatening combat situation, a soldier (generically speaking) is ordered to effect some action that will materially enhance the "friendlies" predicament, be it "get this machine gun over there...!" or whatever. Said soldier decides to cop an attitude, stick hands in pockets, and ignore the order and its' author. Falling back on similar experiences in "the rear" said superior begins to wring hands, vacillate and studiously consider options, all whilst the battle rages on around them and begins to fall to the adversary's advantage. "Oh, woe is me, what to do - that will be fair and just to all involved and not upset feelings...?!" I recall a video recently interviewing a WWII vet who'd served under Chesty Puller (if you don't know who that is, never mind...), and begged to not follow an order in direct conflict with a higher-command directive. Lt. Col. Puller responded, "Well son, if you refuse this order you may or may not get a courts martial, but you will DEFINITELY get a bullet from my .45...!" For crying out loud people -- folks in uniform are WAR FIGHTERS, and they had better be ready to accept unpleasant orders instantly, or understand that they will suffer swift and memorable consequences. Lives - and battles - depend on this principle. Put the damned kid gloves, and the "touchy-feely" mentality away, and become an effective military again!!

In my day, I would "invited" him behind the barracks....can't now. If allowed, maybe point it out to the board, with suggestion of prison time. He has NO respect for you, the uniform, or the "Oath" he swore. HARD LABOR, then, retrial for original offense.

Puthimon report, curtail his liberty for the weekend and have him drop and give me 20.

Time for a good old fashioned smoke session or further charges for failure to obey.

Its hard to answer this definitively without more info. But in a general sense, as long as you were being professional while correcting the soldier, you could have professionally asked the civilian to let you handle your business to square that Soldier away. Then turn your attention back to the Soldier to finish the on-the-spot correction you were making.

I haven't witnessed a court martial, only an NJP, however, correct me if I'm wrong here, a court martial is a proper legal proceeding. Couldn't the soldier being tried be arrested for contempt and sent to the brig for however many days?

The civilian was interfering with the counseling session. I would inform that person professionally. I would then finish my counseling in secluded area (an empty office, or further away from others).

I would have had had him thrown back into the "brig" and rescheduled his hearing as many times as necessary. Also, I'm sure that another NJP and more money taken from him would correct that attitude.

Reprimanded and civilian in writing, and another charge to the soldiering question. And don't get off his back. And I got a write up in the face zone until they can egg knowledge you don't give me an option don't give me any room to move. That individual need to learn what it means to show respect to people obviously a freaking snowflake who need to go to a safe zone her some crap like that.
