MSgt Dennis Dudley and TSgt Joshua Copeland,
The Air Force also has "Greeting of the Day" as this manual reflects.
"The proper greetings of the day are defined by the time of day: “Good morning, Sir/Ma’am” from 0000 until 1159, “Good afternoon, Sir/Ma’am” from 1200 until 1659 and “Good evening, Sir/Ma’am” from 1700 until 2359."
OTS MANUAL 36-2604 Paragraph 1.2.6.1.
:-)

LTC (Join to see), Piggy backing off of my esteemed colleague SFC (Join to see), I would only point out that it is in the officer training manual, not the enlisted training manual.

TSgt Joshua Copeland, TSgt Jackie Jones,
I concur this publication is directed at officers, I just figured that as Non-Commissionee Officers are the more professional of the two, that it would be applicable across the ranks.
Thanks for showing me I quoted the wrong section as well. Here it is used as we have been discussing.
"1.2.1.3. Trainees will initiate the salute and give the greeting of the day in time to allow the senior officer/trainee to return it, but not from such a distance as to hinder communication."
All kidding aside, I am surprised that this phrase seems to only be directed at AF officer trainees, whether at Maxwell or in ROTC and is not a common term across the AF.

Walking up and down Disney Drive at Bagram for the last 18 months, getting muscle failure from saluting every other second, I always wanted to salute the officer and say, "Greeting of the Day, Sir/Ma'am," just to see if anyone noticed.
