How would you react to an E2 who "smart mouths" you in formation?

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?

Give him 1 week of training to remind him that insubordination can mess your life up and exta duty.

Think I'd art 15 and put him on the streets...no room for that in military.

As a Cpl I chew him out in from of everyone to show I am not playing around. And, not to question my authority. But if the problem consist than it would involve, paper work or NJP. But, that will always be the last option. No one deserves to lose money. I grew up in the Old Corps where people played games with you before, you got written up.

I had the E-2 stand off to the side while I finished handing out the rest of the assignments & then dismissed everyone else. I gave the E-2 a chance to explain his actions, then I gave him a talking to that showed him the error of his way!

Well I was in during the seventies and at that time if you had insubordination as described above you would take the private for a private walk behind the barracks.... and he would return to formation with a whole new Outlook
