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

Indeed he would out of respect, but, ohh boyyy!! He would learn a lesson afterwards that would most definetly shape him/her into becoming a great officer.

An O2 tried it on me in the ward room. After I got through chewing him out a new asshole, the Skipper had some enlightenment for him also.

Only once!!! That 01 would have a very bad day!!!

I feel that he would do the same thing that i have read in most of the responses. He would comply with the first time and then ask the officer to step into his office for a conversation. Now saying that, how the officer's response must be considered. The situation can go either North or South

He would, but it would be the last time it ever happened! The boot ENS/2LT would then have a come to Jesus meeting on Pecking order, respect, and who makes it possible for him to get promoted!

Probably so, but Lt better be squared away with whatever his case is. Otherwise Top is going to eat that Lt for lunch.

He might be pretty cheesed, but he would comply.

No he would not and the little 2lt would be shoveling rubber dogshit to fly to Hong kong.

What jo would be stupid enough to do that? The hypothetical is funny but I couldn't see it happening

The answer would be Yes, but I would not want to be that O-1 when they were alone behind closed doors later.

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!
