As a section leader (or really any type of leader) you are out on a limb, and the rest of the section can sit back and joke behind your back. This WILL happen. You have to decide what you want from yourself. Do you want them to joke because they think you're too demanding or do you want them to joke because they think you're a weiner?

In order to be a section leader you need to make decisions and establish rules that will be unpopular. That is the way it is. My advice, take the offending tubist aside and have a talk with him. Tell him to shape up and be a good example. Also, take young Skywalker aside and tell him how you want things to run. DO NOT talk ill of the offending tubist. That will ruin your credibility.

Most important, you need to constantly be thinking about what the right thing to do is. Picture your role models in the situation you are in and think about what they'd do.

I hope you get some more follow ups to your question that are relevant.
