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?

Two slices of bread and a turd in between = 1 sh1t sandwich... No seriously - the little snowflake pulls this nonsense on me is going to discover the magical mysteries of the bilge for about 2 weeks followed by head duty for a month. And every time I have the duty I'll be standing at the brow to snag him as he attempts to leave the ship - so that he can help me with a special project that only one man with his magnificent skills can accomplish. They didn't call me "The Bone" when I ran A gang because of my ability to feed the dogs...

Assign him a different dirtier, more arduous less appealing task after letting him think he had gotten away refusing his original assignment. Karma is a bitch!

That PV2 would be in the thinking chair for a while as I compose his counseling statement. The thinking chair is the imaginary piece of furniture in the corner of my office.

First I calmly ask the private to follow me into my office. Once in the Office I ask him why he feels that he shouldn't do the tak presented to him? Then after listening to his BS answer I'd start witha counseling statement for disobeying a direct order. Then I would assign him the worst possible duties I could think of, and if he refused to do them I'd give 2nd counseling statement, and more duty, if he still failed to comply with his orders I would take him to the company commander and file formal charges for refusing a direct order, and have his lazy butt Article 15'd, and if that didn't work well then I guess I would either have the soldier court marshalled or shot, his choice.
