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?

If I was a DI, would be my job to keep military discipline- mop the floor using the unit as a mop.

Depends on the environment. At war or in garrison. Either way he does not belong in the military! Asking him why he's being insubordinate or acting butt hurt is the reason the military is the way it is now...timeouts and so forth...I am proud of my service and those I have served....political correctness and coddling have no place in my military

I will kill this snake before it has a chance to grow, have every one else fall out. the only people who needs to know what's going on is me, the young snake and his team leader.

I am Correctional Officer but my Grandfathers, Father, Brother has served. As well as many other relatives. In the correctional setting if you can not trust your brothers and sisters to do the jod they are given then they need to leave. You have to know without a shadow of doubt when something goes down they will be there to have your back and not run the other way. It only takes a few seconds to lose one of them. If this E2 does not get that then he needs to leave.

I would react in a manner that would later have me standing at parade rest in front of Top.

There is absolutely no room for insubordination in the military. The rest of the troops need to know this will not be tolerated. After dropping him for twenty--I would then put him on report. This would result in either an Art-15 or court martial. I'm old school. If this young trooper did this with a non life threatening detail in garrison--what would he do on the battlefield?

I've had this happen. My response was very direct...and colorful. Unbeknownst to me our Squadron Commander was in the hanger, behind me with another officer. His response (from what I was told later) was, "I wouldn't argue with her." And continued on with his day. The E2 did what he was told...
