PO2. Yes, but in most cases the 2LT will get some attention afterwards. I had a couple of situations as
a 1stSgt with a 2LT and with a Capt. I did not back down but made a extra effort to remember I was dealing with officers. The Capt was the Sqd Maintenance officer and also the EOT officer. He was just one of those persons I could not get along with. I had the trouble in both with the Capt. As a MO and EOT officer. I did come out ahead.

Yep, and a LTC, MAJ and CPT would make that 2LT's life a living hell. Not to mention the "extreme details" his Company's NCOs would insist on following his future orders (provide they were safe).

If I were the E-9, yes, but I believe me and a certain young butter bar would be having a little discussion later in private.

Well,I can tell you on the army an E-9 would definitely put a boot in that O-1's fourth point of contact. But on paper yeah, they are supposed to.

Understood sir, but I'm just going off of my experience. I can tell you I have seen MSGs chew out 2nd and 1LTs for whatever reason. I'm hard pressed to believe any senior NCO that came up in a division at least just go to attention like that. Also I'm not saying senior NCOs lack respect for officers, it's just usually they have been through a lot and have a lot more time in and experience than LTs. But like you said sir this is could have been a unique situation and that E-9 could have been wrong in something they were doing. Not trying to speak for all the army.
