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

Yes, the 01 while new to the military is still senior to the E9

Yes of course, the E9 is still Enlisted, however their might be a problem with a ASS chewing from a CO to the 01 later! LOL!!!

Yes, out of respect for the officer rank. Hopefully the LT would have the brains and proper training to avoid such situations.

Yes, but the 2lt would lose in the long run

I've seen it happen and it's funny, but usually the "LT" is corrected later
