SalutingThe military salute is universal. It is at foundation but a courteous recognition between two individuals of their common fellowship in the same honorable profession, the profession of arms. Regulations require that it be rendered by both the senior and the junior, as bare courtesy requires between gentlemen in civil life. It is the military equivalent of the laymen's expressions Good Morning, or How do you do? Therefore be punctilious about saluting; be proud of the manner in which you execute your salute, and make it indicative of discipline and good breeding. Always look at the officer you are saluting. The junior salutes first. It is very unmilitary to salute with the left hand in a pocket, or with a cigarette, cigar, or pipe in the mouth. Observe the following general rules: 1. Never salute an officer when you are in ranks. 2. Indoors (in your tent) unarmed, do not salute but stand at attention, uncovered, on the entrance of an officer. If he speaks to you, then salute. 3. Indoors, armed, render the prescribed salute, i.e., the rifle salute at order arms or at trail. 4. Outdoors, armed, render the prescribed salute, i.e., the rifle salute at right shoulder arms. 5. Outdoors, unarmed, or armed with side arms, salute with the right hand. Next: Army Slang Previous: Dress
