Would an E9 comply if ordered to attention by an O1?

2Lt would be left standing peeing in his//ers pants!!

My csm was the most genialy terrifying man I have ever met. IMMIGRATED from south America to join the u.s.military, was sent to the Marines. IF a lewy tried to lock him on, I swear it would have dissolved into goo from THE LOOK, and then been taken to the tree line. Repeatedly.

I never got to see a Junior Officer face off with a E-9 but I did witness a LCDR face off(lmao) with a CWO-3. It was glorious, I have never seen a man before with his tail so convincingly between his legs.

Unofficer Ike to pull rank with other staff ncos and officers over an argument. The CSM would be fired up and definitely not come to attention.

Sure the E9 needs to comply, but life would be hell for the LT after that.

O1 would be better off brown nosing just about any NCO

I heard of an old school E-9 was stopped by an O-2 and told the MC "on Governors Island we render and return salutes with pride". The MC reached in his pocket, pulled out a dime and tossed it to him, "call your mother and tell her you talked to a real sailor". The officer just stood and watched him walk away. The person who told me about this was a new fireman at the time, was walking with the MC, said he was shaking in his boots not knowing if he should salute or keep walking like the MC.

Yes

He would obey the order but I'm sure there would be hell to pay from his BN Commander lol

Yes - out of military respect, chain of command....but it would be brought to the 01 attention afterwards!
