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'm here to read the comments but it is a given that an E9 would destroy a young O1 officer with no prior enlisted experience. An O1 that was prior enlisted depending on the rank he got up to prior would know better than to try a charade like that or would be able to match him if they were that rank prior (even still a situation like that would be handled differently amongst chiefs)

When I served we showed recept for the rank and position the Lt holds. The only time we didn't saulate an officer was in a battle zone

Sure, but does that Lt realizes his soul is about to be completely and utterly crushed?

Yes, the E9 would have to follow the order. However, at the end of the day the LT. Would be in charge of removing shit stains from the underware of privates after they complete 1st combat readiness drills

Technically they have to especially if they are in front of others

Unfortunately the SGM would have to comply with the butter bar however shortly after I would expect the 3 the 5 and the 6 would be smoking the shit of the Lt unless there is something else going on

It would be fun to watch as the E9 puts the O1 in his or her place

Mysquadron commander would take a group of EM's to the chow hall on Steak Days. He loved to play "butter-bar." When we saw a butter-bar we'd get in single file behind our Maintenance Officer, a captain. The Colonel would be in the rear. The Lt. Would salute the captain and We'd each salute the Lt, by the time he got to the Colonel he'd expect a salute, and the Colonel would read him a riot act for not saluting him! Tended to put young butter-bar in their place

Saw this with my own eyes, the new ensign was chewing out a master chief on the main cargo deck of our ship. THE ensign had his finger in the master chiefs face. This went on for what seemed like eternity. After the ensign was done the master chief asked " are you done? Cuz now it's my turn! First don't you ever stick your finger in my face ever again! Second I respect that bar on your collar, but you on the other hand need to earn that respect. Third this ship will cease to function if it weren't for me doing the things that I do! NOW, get the@$!# off my cargo deck! The ensign went to the CO, and the CO told him that the Master chief was right and that when he (the CO ) had certain questions he went to the Master chief .

Yes they would obey the order. But best believe that O1 has NOTHING coming afterwards.
