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?

Use positive criticism for the lower ranking individual. Assure that he/she understands what is expected of them is not a burden but a detail of learning and knowledge.

I would calmly give him a page 11 counseling and then e definitely would be pulling duty for a week in the common area; so everybody could see that mouthing off doesn't pay!

This happened to me. E2 tells me she didn't join the Navy to clean floors. She learned about sweeping parking lot with a toithbrush.

As an E-3 who screwed up more than once never did I lose my Military bearing. Do as you are told and suck it up. crap rolls down hill and as the bottom man you get what you get and thats the end of it. I believe a extra Military instruction is immediately in demand
