How should someone handle a disrespectful PFC (as a SPC)?

Firmly with soft gloves SPC Banks. Remember, you were a PFC before being promoted. Show him the way to salvation, remind him of the consequences of his actions, guide him back on track, but never lose your cool. Punishment and anger are not solutions to the problem. Keep calm; guide, coach and mentor.

Invite the little bastard to the gym, put the gloves on, and mop the floor with his ass!

NVM... I see you are 11B... I guess 10th Mnt. has just gone downhill since I was in it.

had a E2 do that to me, Top gave me 5 privates to do some menial 'make work' detail. I was a Spec4. He told me in no uncertain terms I wasnt a NCO and to take a flying leap. third time I told him to get to work he got more belligerent. Lo and behold Top came around the corner and heard him. He formally released us to our place of business. from what I heard he did that 'make work' detail 5 or 6 times under Tops supervision. we didnt do that parade rest stuff some type about, but that never happened again. had to write a statement on his e1 behalf. few weeks later he tried to burn the barracks down so he was gone anyway.

If it was a Marine I would first make on the spot corrections. If he proceeded to be belligerent and disrespectful I would give him two options. Either correct himself or we will do paperwork (I try to not do paperwork so that their career is not hindered). From then on it is easy. If he is not on one of yours then you will have to talk to his leadership to get paperwork started. Negative counseling's and whatnot. Usually a good ass chewing will correct a deficiency.

If you figure it out let me know. I have the same issue and even going up the chain I'm limited to what I can do.

Somebody didn’t like my post. it was taken down. Text me If anybody got it, you can answer me. I don’t start trouble, it hunts me but I am winning. Remember the pen and paper are your swords.

Be the first to report his disrespectful manner. Documentation is everything. Paper and pen or your Swords. Document everything because it could get physical and you may hurt him more than he hurts you. Then it would appear that you are the villain, but documentation will be your proof of innocent. I didn’t know to do that in my time and I became the villain. My case is a “Blaming the Victim” and the hatred came from my own defense attorneys, white racist men who had no accountability and answered to one. No pictures were taken and no report was filed for my account in my defense. I have been fighting for 41years and 10 months. I have been a veteran for going on 7 years still trying to get all that was taken for me.

Your gonna need some soap bars and a pillow...

Come on.. we know today's officer corps is absolutely not on board with good order and discipline and will be the last to back up any enlisted authority..

Go back to old army.

That sounds like to much politics involved. I had an incident with a guy that was disrespectful and he was the same rank as me but had been his rank a tad bit longer by a couple months. He literally tried to hold that over my head to try to justify his level of disrespect. Eventually, I had to confront this mindset with the help of my platoon Sargent.

The PFC probably has an attitude problem. He or she isn't going to listen to you unless you are a ragbag SPC. I distanced myself with this type of soldiers until I made hard striped E-5. It's a different thing if he assaults you!

I remember as a Junior NCO (SGT) when I was assigned to a new company and as 1st Squad SLvand Assistant PLT SGT, I had a problem with a soldier in another squad not doing what he was told to do and was very disrespectful. The PLT SGT was on leave, so I took over his responsibilities. As I was assigning daily tasks, this solder blurted out "Ain't no damn E-5 telling me what to do." I stopped, approached th soldier, reached in my left breast pocket, pulled out my card and read th soldier his rights under Article 31 of the UMCJ. I asked him if he understood his rights and what was about to happen. He said "Yes Sergeant." I asked him if we still had a problem, "No Sergeant". Are you going to comply with what is required of you, "Yes Sergeant". After that incident there were no other problems with him. Eventually I pulled him into my squad, took him under my wing, giving him guidance. This showed him that I cared and I wouldn't hesitate to put a boot in his ass when he needed it.

Wow calm down there American Hero, your still lower enlisted.

It all depends on what your position as an E4 is. If you're a team leader you should take actual disciplinary action or corrective training. If you're not in a leadership position you should punch him in the face and keep doing so til he stops. If he's infantry like you are he wont whine about it and everything will be sorted.

Fuck him,his leadership, and the POV they drove on post with. Take his ass to woodline

Actually file an EO report

what is he doing that is disrespectful? A little more insight would help. Mocking you because your from say Texas, no big deal. Mocking you do to an accent or ethnicity, culture, now he is crossing lines.

I was trying to gind mybpost to delete it. I come from the older army days. Things were different back then. So if you see my response, don't pay attention to the advice. You will be in trouble. Pray.
