How would you react to an E2 who "smart mouths" you in formation?

If it was me and it had been like that, private Pyle should be cleaning the latrine and running everywhere, with extra cq duty and restricting to post!

Immediate Report Them To Company Commander For Disiplinary Action!!

Negative counseling statement. If it continues to be an issue then I've got no problem pursuing charges for being a malingerer.

It's simple really this might be a problem in other branches. But definitely not the marine corps even more so in the 03 field the only thing coming out of a boot as pfcs mouth is no Sgt, yes Sgt, I sgt. And even if he talk back every sernior lace would have him on blast and him and his buddy's would be playing fuck fuck games until the morning sun.

Make the biggest most outspoken soldier do it and all his other duties for the rest of the day and let him go hang out in the barracks.

I'd PT him till he pukes 2 times.

Detain the undisciplined while the unit falls out. Question his action to find out what may me wrong. Reassuring him or here its a unit not high school. Then reassure them if there is a problem it will get attention, however, punishment will follow for the action. They need to learn respect, honor, and commitment to duty. I have seen this go from conversation to whoop ass. I find the middle road. Usually it has the real problem surface.

I have to agree with GySgt Pepper. Discipline is best left to the individual's chain of command; from pltsgt to sqdldr to teamldr. Everyone else is dismissed to begin the day's assignments. I have witnessed far too many cases of public humiliation in my twelve yrs of service. The private will learn more respect for his command if the discipline is kept quiet and discreet.

Allow him to take his complaint to the First Sergeant and see how far he gets!

Id recycle his ass. Just like that did in airborne school. You fuck up once you get recycled to do it all over again. I think that's the most valuable punishment you can do make them listen. Is take all their fucking time up in the world. Show them what the life is all about. Its respect. Its adapting and over coming. Its doing 7 robin sages when ever the command picks your number you take it to the chin and do the tasking soldier. This is what you swore an oath to. if you don't like it. Enjoy your dishonorable discharge!!

smack him in the mouth

smack him in the mouth

ass kicking

i dont know made no sence yo me

Call it what it is, "Assault" and then commit the "Battery" to make him shut his mouth!

Actually this did happen to me doing my Career. I was a Sgt (E-5) my soldier was a Pfc (E-3), we get back from a 4 week field exercise. She said she quit that she was done working for the day. After repeating to get back to work she refuse, I just put one of my other soldier in charge, I march her to my office, wrote her up, to it to the 1st sarg, and believe it or not she told the first sarg and the company commader that she quit. So guess what her rights was read and she did 30 days on coleman barracks in Mannheim Germany. For anyone who don't know colemen its the jail there. When she finish her 30 days, that soldier was the best soldier in my squad.

Yell in his face and say, " you will do this task private pile sack-a-shit!" "You will follow my orders if you disobey one more time or smart mouth me I will fuck you silly!!!"

1) Talk to me AFTER you do what I said. 2) Send formation out-he stands fast. Give him one shot to state objection, then advise any objection has no merit when orders issued-period. Let him know this is one and only time he gets this chance given to avoid Mast, any other backtalk is up for MAST, no discussion-now go do as instructed or report to brig, period.

Tell that PV 2 to stand by with squad leader and we will have some good old corrective training and that's a guarantee

Tell the men that "today we are practicing our hand to hand combat skills" and PVT. Joe Smart Mouth will be our demonstrator of what not to do. After this training event is over, I would have his squad leader issue a counseling statement regarding his disrespect and what the expectations of being a Soldier are. I would then counsel the squad leader for not instilling these traits into him from the get go.
