Here's the background. You're a senior E5. Your troops are in formation and you're handing out work for the day. You hand out an assignment to a fresh E2 with less than a year in and only a few months at your command. They blatantly complain and tell you to choose someone else. You calmly tell them they will do this task and they tell you to shove it and give it to someone else. How do you react?

Never been in the military but doesn't the E2 understand why there is a chain of command? And isn't he supposed to follow all lawful orders without question?

I never had the desire to become a an Army Ranger. All due respect to them all. I was awarded a GLCM tab while active duty in the USAF in 1990. I'll take it.... HU-AH?!

Smoke the shit out of him. The private needs to know he's to follow orders given to him if the orders are not unlawful. If the private can't or will not follow simple orders in basic, the private is going to get him/herself killed or someone else.

Smoak him. A PFC who can smart off to a Sgt, obviously didn't get smoaked enough in basic.

I would tell him to stand fast. I would then proceed to counsel him if he persisted, I would then give him an Article 15.
