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 would surely make an example of this Boot Marines conduct, and it would not go unpunished, VI's disobeying a lawful order charges, or platoon discipline via extra duty, and all the other shit can job I could find. These job would make the one he refuse to do so impossible, he would request transfer to another unit.

Take him and his squad leader into office. Restate the order. An explanation as to why it needs done (mellenials need that) shouldn't be given as order must be maintained and enforcement if not followed without question. If he still is defiant Ar15 and maybe even unsay him out.

We would have words later. It wouldn't be a good thing to have animosity within the ranks. If that didn't work I would let my squad leader deal with him.

A disciplinary action is in order. The E2 is blatantly refusing an order. 20 push-ups or sit-ups is a reasonable disciplinary action. But perhaps not harsh enough. I just took the time to read 3 responses. As for myself, I scored a 97 on the ASVAB, but couldn't pass the Physical due to nerve damage. The responses I read were right on the money, and in my opinion, a better option than potentially crushing an E2's throat. My father came out of Officer's Basic and was stationed at Ft Carson as a Drill Sargent. During gas mask training, a fresh recruit refused to put on his gas mask. My father took the steps of his training to encourage the recruit to follow through with the orders. No good. My father broke down and cussed and swore at the recruit at high volume. The stupid kid still refused to follow orders. To my knowledge, striking a subordinate was not an option. He got himself transferred into the Army and earned his wings flying helicopters
