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?

I drop him then and there continue doing what I was doing dismiss everybody but one "battle buddy" and we do some PT. I have a special cadence for this kind of yahoo kinda shit he will cry and I will have his battle standing by so to ensure that it doesn't become a wall to wall and I will do every thing snuffy does every push up every lunge he will remember it and hopefully use it.

shoot him; nay, a warning and a flogging; nay, extra duty and a apology to all the troops in formation that day...also let him know, under no circumstances will this situation present itself again. A note in his/her file that explains that this disciplinary note will disappear if good conduct is observer for six months.

tell tech e2 to set down the assignment and stand aside select the next recroot to pick up the assignment dismiss all troops to go forward as told.Have the e2 join you to the commanders office for clarification of there rank and if any punishment given.this type of arrogance can not be held in our armed forces. It can be life costly if it appears in battle .

Delegate them with the task and acknowledge the concern, addressing the behavior and ensuring they understand the appropriate way to complain. If the behavior continues, you don't want to take this to the next level.

Belly crawl for a mile, then make him stay up all night on fire watch. After that make him clean the bathroom with a damn tooth brush! RESPECT!
