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'd pull him aside and explain to him that he was going to do exactly what I asked him to or I'd write him up for disobeying a direct order and then I'd have doing a bunch of s*** That he hated just to let him know who his boss is !

I'd probably start yelling things like "who the hell do you think you are?" And let them know real fast to get out of my face and do as they were told or there'd be hell to pay.

"Do you want to be a Marine"? If Yes, then "marines are humble and respectful, do you want to show your brothers that you are serious about keeping their lives safe?" If yes (and it should be) then "well then act like a Marine and cut the shit"

This is the whole reason I left the military.I and another NCO were in the armory talking while a few privates and specialist were cleaning weapons.A female SPC walks in and yells "Ok everyone shut the F up".I told her "there are NCO's in this room and there are more respectful ways to be heard".My platoon sgt (E-6) called me into his office and told me I needed to respect that E-4 and didn't need to say anything to her in front of people.Two weeks later when time to reenlist came up,I didn't.If I had done what she did when I was a pvt or spc I wouldn't have walked out of the armory.

That has happened and after everyone else departed, the E2 and I left for a dark space outside of the hangar. No more problems!!

I guess kicking them in the nuts is no longer acceptable?
