Has anyone ever been in a screaming match or any altercation with their superiors?

Sure. I stood there silently while my DI screamed in my face. It is called "boot-camp".

With a superior in status and in the command line? Right!! NEVER SAW THAT as a Marine. Saw a few peers get heated, not a superior. You may do that once...………………. you will eventually wish the hell you had better sense. I read a lot of silly, undisciplined and ignorant things here...……… the Marine Corps I knew did NOT play games and silly ass bull shit wastes time and money and is not allowed in the duty mix.

Unfortunately, many times. The good old "Rank has it's Privilege" is the key. More times then not it was about someone thinking they can get away with anything because they have higher rank. Just about every time I was justified in my responses and the higher ranking people were proven to be in the wrong. I can think of at least 6 confrontations, in 4 years. The roughest one was with my Squadron Commander, an O-5 when I was a E-4. Let me just say I left the Air Force with a clean, Honorable discharge. ;)

I was a reservist when I was deployed. I was attached to an Engineer Unit based out of Western Pennsylvania. I was a mechanic and the only female in my company. There were 26 females in the entire Brigade. I was told that I wouldn't be a mechanic down range, and that I would have to sit in the office as a TAMS clerk with the other girls, even though we already had one adn the MTOE only called for one. This came from the company commander. I replied that I didn't go to AIT to be a TAMS clerk and that I was not trained in that field. I started to get heated when no one would listen to me. I pulled out regulation at the time (it was long ago and I don't remember it). I was involuntarily transferred (same Brigade, different company) the next day. I didn't get into any trouble, and was able to do my MOS in the other company. I also met my husband, so it all worked out well for me.

It was probably about a year ago when I was working on the flight line with logistics. I had just finished tagging along with them in a C-172. While going back into the flight office, I catch this E-3 dipshit ordering an E-2 to front leaning rest ON THE FUCKING FLIGHT LINE. I immediately go into NCO mode on this dude who just transferred here. Mind you, while you are in FLR position on a flight line, that isn't so safe as you think it might be. I was damn near demoted back to E-2 for chewing this dude out.
The guy who was getting drilled by the E-3 thanked me and my 1st SGT praised me. All three of us knew that this E-3 was a control freak and that after this happened, he would be getting a Big Chicken Dinner REAL soon.

Had a captain at Edgewood arsenal who hated me from day 1. Had a profile from Walter Reed that he crumpled up. I was blamed if someone saw the Chaplin or JAG. He caused it. Told him I could not be responsible if I did not have authority and we should switch ranks. Well he did give me permission to speak freely. It came to a head one duty night when a female came running in the orderly room screaming He’s going to kill me. I put her behind me as the whole room went quiet. The captain was in my face. I asked what the problem was because this was my second tour and knew regulations. He slapped me in the face. Plenty of witnesses and I filed charges. Orders came and he said I couldn’t leave. Had a cab waiting, cleared post in the middle of the night. He was furious. Later that year he was forced out of the Army.

A few. I had a butter bar who was a prior SGT, so she "knew my job." I was an E5 filling the PSG (E7) role because of vacancies and NCOs away at school. We got in to it a LOT - but always behind closed doors.

I also had a 1SG who didn't like it when I pointed out that he and his Commander had very obviously and blatantly failed to follow a reg specifically concerning my situation. He started yelling at me, and giving me unlawful orders (namely to drive unsafely and illegally), at which point I started yelling back at him verifying the unlawful order and identifying it as unlawful. That one was VERY public - and I ended up counseled negatively and a 4/4 NCOER.

Had one E5 when I was an E4 with about a month before I went to OTS who was being an ass....short little dude, wanted to chastise me because I called him Sergeant instead of Staff Sergeant....took me outside the building, and stood on one of the steps above me so he could try a position of dominance.....

It was hilarious!

I had a loud conversation with an E-7. The night before I’d grounded a Huey for a damaged tail rotor blade, out of limits. I came to work and the first thing I notice was a big blob of Bondo stuck to the side of the still installed blade. After questioning the over night Crew Chief, I talked to the E-7 in charge of the shift to find out WTFO. He told me to sand it down, smooth it up and get it ready to fly. I kinda lost it at that moment. I told him that by no means would that helicopter would fly with that blade installed. If anyone tried, I would take a hammer and make sure that bade was damaged out of limits. It got heated until I calmed down. I apologized for losing my patience but made it clear it weren’t gonna fly. It didn’t and I got a good replacement blade.

Not me, but my ex husband punched his company commander in the face. He was a marine on a ship, I was in the army, so don't know the full deets. But he got a full captain's mast
