What would you do if your Sergeant didn't know how to load a magazine?

I just saw this video and felt like I was watching a multi-car accident on the interstate. It just got worse as it went on. What made it so bad as this was a SGT. The Safety was professional as he could be. Hats off to him. When I heard her say "I'm not Active Duty" I would have kicked her off the range. I am glad the Safety told her that she was a soldier and that he was a reservist too. If I was her CO I would have do everything I could to reduce her. But I think if you have a NCO like this in your unit the unit itself has a lot of issues in the first place. What kills me also is that she has a combat patch.
What would you have if you were the Safety?
Just so you know that you know it is believed that they Safety was a SSG just the same as was the soldier trying to load the mag.

No need to embarrass anyone. Had a Sgt scheduled to conduct PM I with MK19 noticed he had no clue or ever fired one. Luckily he showed up early enough at our facility to train him up before his soldiers arrived. We uplift not kick around.

She’d be on the bus home ASAP. Now you know why Marines tend to be a bit distant.

I blame not her but her chain of Command for Promoting her for not knowing her common SOLDIER tasks. I could care two hoots whether you are RA, USER, OR ARNG you have learn and know your basic SOLDIER skills or get out quit holding Rank that someone who Serves can get Promoted.

I have a friend who evaluates units in training exercises every year. According to the horror stories he tells me, this is a common condition in a lot of combat support and combat service support units.

Well while typing and answering the wife made some spelling errors, I’ll do some pushups.

.........I know what I want to say, but although I’m out now I will stick to my Leadership mentality and say this a Sergeant needs to go through PMI and possibly rethink what it means to be an NCO. NCO’s don’t always have the answers but we should know where or how to find them. As for skill set Basic Soldiering should not be a challenge or met with excuses. I hope this malfunction gets corrected because while thousands of abled NCOs where forced out because of bad paperwork early on in there career, there seems to be a gap between the new age and the Senior Enlisted. Just my 2 cents.

I seen many E-7s who couldn't send a bullet past the firing line, litterally hitting the ground infront of them on every shot. Yet, they still get deployed, prove even more they can't be in charge of anything and yet sit on promotion boards.
