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?

If one acts up, then the others will suffer and he'll face his consequences.

I would dress him down verbally in front of the troops, then have him and his squad leader stand tall after dismissing the other troops. Advise the squad leader how I wanted him to work the disrespect out of him and then send them to do their Task. I would check and ensure on multiple times during the next few hours, days and weeks that they were doing their task together. I would also be rewriting the extra duty assignments to ensure that all the troops as well as E2 mouth and his team leader got all the extra duty they could stand for a couple weeks. After that peer pressure and leadership should stop this kind of disrespect.

There's NO EXCUSE, EVER for insubordination. If not nipped early, and mercilessly lives are at risk. Period. There's no place for a snowflake. The way I figure it the parents and boot camp failed the cupcake.

So be it.

I'll fix this shit FAST, belowdecks Ending with my leg snapped off at the knee up cupcakes ass!

In the early 1960s, group punishment was often used to straighten out a smart mouthed recruit. Peer pressure got his attention faster than individual punishment.
