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 have to take a moment to calm myself.......... Then its time for some corrective training or memory builders....... flutter kicks, front back go, mule kicks. I wouldn't go over board, but when I'm done that soldier would have a light coat of sweat on him!

He'd be doing about 50 push ups with me sitting on his back!

Crush it immediately in public. Then UCMJ. CO grade ART 15. If it persists, you can always escalate to FG or chapter

I would like to think that a disciplinary measure akin to getting the spit slapped out of your mouth like my mother used to do 8f I got smart with her......which was not often at all. But I can remember that smack to this day and that smack had its desired effect....I listened and did as I was told for the greater good of the household.

Being in the National Guard, I would have no issue saying "Go to supply and get MOPP gear" and smoke the crap out of them, or as my old squad leader would say, "If you don't want to be here, there's the door." I know the last one is argumentative as a leader, telling a soldier to just leave, but honestly we don't need that type of insubordination in our military. Just my two cents though.

Had a Seaman up for 3rd class tell me as a 2nd Class that he was going to sleep and not turn to, asked if he understood that he was being given a lawful order by a senior PO, he said yes and turned over to go to sleep. I wrote him up and we got underway the next day, I did the work he was suppose to do . Two days later he was called before the Chief and told he had Captains Mast that afternoon for disobeying a lawful order. He was reduced in Rank, lost 3 months pay and was on shipboard confinement for 3months. No one in my Division ever again disobeyed an order from any PO after that. This was in 1974. He was upset that I wrote him up but I explained that it was my responsiblilty to have our equipment up and ready to be underway and I could be given a mast for not being sure that we could get underway and I was not going to lose my hard earned rank because he wanted to sleep after noon chow.

Pull his tongue out and shuv it up his ass. Full blown disrespect to you higher command should be dealt with straight forward discipline (corporal punishment).
