What do you do when a soldier refuses to listen to your directions?

1. You remove the sunglasses and crush them beneath your feet.
2. Feel Private Snuffy's dreams being crushed there as well.
3. Revel in your awesomeness as Private Snuffy cries about his $200 Ray Bans, knowing that is the last time he will question your authoritay!

SPC Joe Snuffy, 12 June 2016 at approximately 0630 you refused to remove sunglasses after being given an order to do so. Your actions place you in violation of ARTICLE 91. INSUBORDINATE CONDUCT TOWARD WARRANT OFFICER, NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER, OR PETTY OFFICER. For these actions I am recommending to the commander that you recieve punishment under Article 15 of the UCMJ.
Kiss of death statement currently in use by your JAG.

I would absolutely crush a Soldier who was disrespectful or insubordinate to one of my NCO's.

Blatant insubordination like this in my formation (that NCO is acting as my representative in this case) would be recommended for field grade action and maxed out at that. Aside from the rank and pay, I have to give 4 hours of sleep per 24 hour period. Nowhere does it say it has to be consecutive. They'd get 20 minutes at a time.

That should be enough to make my point.

This type of behavior is a cancer and it will spread of you don't crush it. Of course, having been an NCO prior, I take a very serious view on this.

Soldiers refusing to follow orders? This is were the army is going. Bring back wall to wall counseling and these problems won't happen nearly as much.

GENERAL MILITARY AUTHORITY

3-27. General military authority originates in oaths of office and enlistment, law, rank structure, traditions, and regulations. This broad-based authority allows leaders to take appropriate corrective actions whenever a member of any armed service, anywhere, commits an act involving a breach of good order or discipline. Army Regulation 600-20, Army Command Policy, states this specifically, giving commissioned, warrant, and noncommissioned officers authority to "quell all quarrels, frays, and disorders among persons subject to military law." The purpose of this authority is to maintain good order and discipline.

What DID I do? I told the SM to remove them,, they did.
The only SM I ever had say no to an order, to get inside after picking him up from the MP's...He refused to move, I insisted, he refused, I assisted physically, he resisted physically, I put him on the ground and explained that he would be moving under his own power or with help inside the building and fighting was only going to cause a short delay with one of us getting hurt more than the other.. As i was on top in a dominant position in control of a locked joint, he elected to refrain from further physical attack and move into the building on his own power.

I can't believe this question was even asked! Welcome to the Pussification of the Army!

Take them off his/her face, snap them in half and then give them back.

Oh and write that soldier up...

Pen to paper, paper to chain, repeat as necessary. Avoid at all costs the temptation to rip his head off and shit down his neck..please!!

This is according to my experience (13yrs TIS 10 yrs as an NCO) and ADRP 6-22 and include the NCO guide which covers on the spot corrections done right.
1. Always live up to the Army Values.
At all times treat all with dignity and respect to include your Soldiers when they display such patterns of misconduct that are unbecoming of a Soldier.
2. Correct the Soldiers deficiency and don't attack the individual by disrespecting him.
3. I had a wise mentor call 1SG Kelvin Ingram when I was a Drill Sergeant and he told me documention beats conversation. Document all everything in counseling document. Good and bad.
4. In the 4856 you will come up with a plan to fix the discrepancy. Remember that the punishment will fit the crime. And doing exercises is not corrective in nature, it teaches nothing but to hate your leader and it shows lack of leadership, understanding and inability to fix matters and develop others for the better.
5. Handle it at your level first (you're an NCO after all) once the Soldier has done the same discrepancy then type up another 4856 and involve the Squad Leader. Don't involve the SL at first, show him/her that you have tried to handle it first at your level. At the end of the day he or she needs to know the goods and the bass of the squad they're are responsible for. The point is show the Soldier/s and your COC that you want to develop the individual and not just out punish and chapter out. This also allows you the opportunity to develop yourself as a young NCO by learning from others experiences.
6. Never forget to follow up both in person and in document. This is the last portion of the 4856 that's nearly used, the assessment.
Again, this is my own habit and tips that I always have in mind when dealing with these matters. They're in no specific order even though they're numbered. By dealing with it this way your are printing a history of the Soldier weather for the best or the worst. Let them prove themselves a worthy Soldier Ana future NCO/Commisioned Officer or Warrant Officer or let them prove the need for UCMJ. You just show that you have done the right thing, conducted yourself like a true professional being fair and impartial. Last thing, I have noticed that a lot of Soldiers within the last 8yrs prefer to do push ups or any type of physical activity since they know and fear the documentation of such behaviors knowing that it will lead to unemployment for the military or UCMJ. I have had Soldiers tell me this and I've heard them talking about it. I've been in Schofield Barracks, Carson, Sill and Drum and heard this statement many times in my career from infantry to Supply clerks and personal clerks etc. This is my way of handling it and I offer it to you to base your own. Take what you want from me and others advice and make your own. Hope this helps.
