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?

Some old school thoughts come to mind. But probably won't be accepted in today's army. But one is always accepted 4856 disrespect to a NCO. Recommend article 15

You pull that soldier out of line, follow the chain of command for immediate counciling statement and recommend an Article 15. Disobeying a direct order.

All I can say is that in an airborne infantry unit, this E-2 would only make that mistake one time.

Push-ups till I got tired, then cleaning tasks till I thought he/she learned the meaning of following orders.
