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

Of course he would.respect the rank, not wanting to burst his little bubble.. . I would be rough on the O1 for a long time after.. I have known many O1s and oO2 that would not have survived without the leadership of a E6 much less a E9.. Most weren't too smart when I WAS IN 1970 / 1973

E9 would comply and settle the disagreement peacefully at a later date

Sure, that's the duty. However, I'd like to be a fly on the wall for the closed door follow up. Wouldn't be the 1st time I've seen a butter bar piss himself

Technically yes, but it's not in his or her best interest. The senior officer that the CSM works for will surely have a come to Jesus moment with the entire chain of command. He or she will not allow their battle to be messed with.

A newlyintend 90 day wonder reported aboard USS Tripoli (LPH-10) and proceeded to tell a fleet E6 (who had been on board for 5.years) to.take.an unlit.cigar out of his mouth. THE E6 locked the O1 in a paint locker. Afterwards, the department to head suggested the O1 take some time to learn the Navy way.

According to the UCMJ and the oath, technically the E9 should. However, not too many lower echelon officers are that stupid.

He should reply but I'm sure the commander would tell that butterbar to back off

I was walking from the LSA to work along a road we called sniper alley (for a reason) on Camp Victory Iraq back in 2003. A reserve 2LT walks pass me (a PV2 at the time), I do not slaute but instead say the greeting of the day. He stops and calls me back to him insisting a salute. I oblige and say "Roger, sniper check sir." rendering a bold and over the top salute.

Just behind him was the General and CSM. The General walks up to me with the CSM right behind him. I think I am about to get ripped apart. The General says "Did that LT just tell you to salute him?" I said yes sir. He smirked, "Fuckin Lieutenants." and walked away. The CSM patted me on the back and gave me the same smug smile and followed the General.

When I got to work I told my section who didn't believe me! But who would? If I wasn't there I wouldn't have believed it my self.

An O1 (Ensign -Navy) and an E9 (Master Chief- Navy) crossed paths in a Training command; the O1 stops and sees that he wasn't saluted and Turns around to the E9 to say "excuse me Master Chief did you forget something?" , The Master chief looks back perplexed then says "Oh I suppose I did", Master Chief reaches into his pocket and pulls out a Navy Coin and Tosses it to the O1, "Here" he says!, "tell your mother you met a real sailor today!" then goes about and carries on with his day.

Well of course the E9 is going to acknowledge and abide by customs and courtesies, but I can also promise the E9 is going to be having a talk with someone else that easily out ranks that butter Bar and hinge will be very different.

The other day I was walking through BN HQ and I saw this boot walking over in alphas with his firewater ribbon and shooting badge. As we crossed paths he goes, "good morning gentlemen" my buddy simply said "hey" I said "what's up man" and continued walking. Assuming he was a pvt who just got to the fleet I didn't think much of it until I looked behind me and noticed the butterbars on his shoulders. Well sir... the tables have changed lol
