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

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?

Interesting choice of picture for this discussion. I don't think there is much chance this recruit is back-talking this DI.

whatever job he was complaining about, and refusing to do would now become his permanent assignment.

Make a example out of him. This is the military and a lawful order. I once made a group of e-1 & e-3 detail the smoke pit.( they where smokers ) after they return from liberty over an hour late . They had a choice I said they change into there poopy suites and clean at 0100 with flashlights or I call the CDO and we do article 92 and article 15. They choose to clean till 0600. They never return late again

If he's insubordanent with you thru ignuurance you explain in a fair but firm voice what his correct behavior should be, if he is duing on purpose and you know he knows better, you either chew his ass out or instruct his leader to square him away.
