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?

As a SCPO, aboard an FFG, at quarters one morning, I had an unrated SM striker continue to run his mouth, after telling him to "shut his trap". When the division officer concluded quarters, I had the Sn stand fast, dismissed the division and then "invited the Sn behind the mack to a fan room, opened the door and told him that I was following him in, and that we were going to come to an "agreement" as to who ran the division. I assured the young sailor that it was not him. I could not get away with what happened in that fan room in todays navy. Needless to say, no more problems with said sailor

Bring formation to attention, relieve others of the command other than the one in question. Bring a request for the nearest available officer to join you. State the request to the E2 for the officer to hear again. Let the officer bring the evaluation to bear. In my day it would have been the rest of my fellow Airmen who would have beat me down for causing them the repercussions that were about to be had by all for this behavior. Today all you have to do is request gender , transformation treatment, and you don't have to even do physical training let alone your job!

Smile, say "okay, I love a volunteer," and find the crappiest assignment for the individual to do on top of the current assignment. Make sure it is done so others can see it as a reminder your the boss. Then continue smiling, and inform the individual if they wish to continue being disrespectful by disobeying a direct order, they are going on report, or getting a write up. If they continue being a dipstick, ask them if they are volunteering for other unwanted assignments.
