If a fresh 2LT/ENS ordered an E9 to attention because of a disagreement, would the E9 have to comply? What would possibly happen?

I don't think a properly trained O1 would even consider doing this and on the flipside, a truly professional E9 would never put his or her self in that situation.

I'd just want to stand back and watch the repercussions.

The regulation is clear on this topic. That being said, a CSM should NEVER be in a situation where a LT felt the need to assert his authority.

Tough call. Most E-9's answer directly to the commander and most butter bars would know better but the rank stucture is the rank structure. ..

I would because no one is more professional than I. But as a Leader there are professional ways to fix this misguided LT. Narrow is the path and few our on it.

Most definately......a 2lt is a commissioned officer and an sgt/major is an enlisted man. .....protocol and regulations dictate saluting and respect of sn officer.....

The soldier would comply with a law order. End of discussion.

I have seen a similiar incident of this.
It was back in about 92 on an ASR. Don't remember if it was a Ensign or a LTJG but he was trying to tell a 28 year MC how to do his job. It didn't go very well as the MC chewed up the poor kid and spit him out.
