Yes as to it being professional, but never should someone brand new need to command someone who has been in for so long to attention, that is more abuse to power. Any enlisted will know to respect an officer, and will help guide them through their knowledge as a professional.

I knew an Lt that when asked a question about senior NCO'' needing to salute.. the Lt replied they do it outta courtesy and that they wouldn't want to piss of one...

Yes the E9 is required to but at the same time the 2LT needs to respect that E9 because that E9 had earned his or her place and respect.

As per the UCMJ he would have to, since technically a superior officer gave him an order. BUT! As an E-9, he/she has ridiculous authority and that O-1 wI'll definitely learn their place and the never fuck with an E-9 ever again lol

I would obey the order but I would explain the facts of life to him while at attention

I am glad to say I had mostly good officers and many great NCOs also while I was in. I was a Spc and more than once I had officers and NCOs who reported to me for details. I didn't deal with many LTs, but the CPT I normally worked with would ask for my advice and follow it with no problems. The one-time I had an issue with an LT was when I was driving the BDE CMD, I had am LT order me out of the vehicle and he had me do h push-ups in the middle of the road, I was only up to about 10 when the COL ordered me to recover and count for the LT who then proceeded to attempt 82 push-ups. That was an eye opener for me 2 weeks out of AIT.

Yes, and then in private, let the Lt. know how little he actually knew about the Corps, or life in general.

A an E-9 would comply with the directive however shortly thereafter the upper echelon staff of the command would take a big giant shit on the 0-1 behind closed doors
