I have seen a couple if post with that phrase in it and simply have no idea it is! Do ya'll have like a list you are supposed to memorize? Does it change?

For us AF types it is as simple as good morning/afternoon sir/ma/ma'am.

It is of course SUP MAN? I heard that when I was shadowing a LT as a cadet. It was made by a guy who was being chaptered out when he saw the company commander. He said it was because he already saluted once that day.
