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

Start with 670-1. Then Article 92; Failure to obey an order or regulation, then Article 91; Insubordination. Any NCO weak enough to allow this to happen should be administratively reduced for ineffective leadership and just plain old incompetence.

Conex box counseling used to be an answer now you have to stick to the pc crap

Back in the late 60's you would have been brought in the DI's office and got your ass kicked

I'd question, why did that solider join the military in the 1st place?

Simply take them and say "Thank you soldier; I need a new pair." Then get vocal about insubordination, drop him, and remind him he's not on the streets anymore.

I would love to go back to the day when the military wasn't so damn sensitive and you had to write counseling after counseling statement. Being able to settle things in a physical manner usually establishes the pecking order and prevents such situations like this from rarely, if ever happening again.

So, in short, I'd grab him by the throat and punch him so hard in the mouth he shots a pearl necklace the same day.

You need to do something with this person ASAP. If he is not going to obey you orders now do you think he will in combat? Use your chain of command. He needs to be punished Other Soliders will see this and they will do the same. Money and liberty are what's important to him. Go after them.
