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?

Order him to start swabbing the deck and clean the heads till they shine. Dismiss everyone else to their duties. After cleaning is done satisfactorily, have a private chat with him and explain where he went wrong.

Let me first say that you should never ask why or hesitate when given a lawful order! Your not in school your in the fighting force that has been directed to protect the freedoms of this fine nation. What ever happened to a good ole smoke session. Pushing a five gallon water can with your forehead while low crawling the parade field. If you are questioning my instructions now in garrison, what will you do when bullets start flying. Discipline by fire, blood and sweat!! We (and I say WE because I will always be a part of the Army) have become nothing more than babysitters that can't even discipline the kids. Give NCO's their responsibility and ability to train, discipline and LEAD their soldiers (marines, air men, sea men)!!
