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?

Get up in the privates face, with raised voice tell him he's not at home any more and mommy can't protect him anymore, tell him he will do the task and inform him or her that he or she will get the crap details until they learn to respect their superiors.

You can’t speak at Parade Rest. If you chose to ignore protocol, I would explained the rank structure in the United States Army and how it pertains to you in this particular situation. At this point, reinforcement training (D&C, Customs & Courtiers) may take up some of this PVT’s spare time. If you still didn’t grasp the concept, forfeiture of pay, extra duties and confined to barracks (as outlined by UCMJ). This is not a fucking Democracy.

Demise the rest of the group. Make them stand there for an hour at attention, go in there and tell him again to do as told. If he refuses again white him up, and give him extra duty. Take away his liberties. And give him more extra duties.

Have them all run. After a brisk 5 mile jog make them go into the showers and have them do mountain climbers. Then explain that it's all about the weakest link in the chain. If one starts to rust the others will soon follow. You'll earn respect, and yes they might hate you but they'll hate the incompetent POS more

I would make an example out of PFC Fucktard and his team leader, in private, which would immediately alert everyone else to what is going on. I would then proceed to make PFC Soup-Sandwich my personal project for the rest of their assignment.

hmm he blatantly refused, lmao skip the LOC(letter of counseling) n go strait to a LOR(Letter of reprimand)! I had to do that once to another female Airman, She was told to report to me the next day in BDU's and instead showed up in dress blues, said she didn't want that training she preferred to work in an office. lmao. so thought if she was in dress blues we wouldn't make her go out into the field for training, I made her do it in her blues!!!
