It is soon going to be the second anniversary of debatably the most viewed and talked about post in Rally Point history "Should a 2LT salute a 1LT?" by Eric Rosa. How will you celebrate on 3 November?

You have to enforce the standard don't you? But I think this is more of an Army thing.

Great to see all the "regulars" chime in. CPT (Join to see), whatever firestorm you created, it must have been worth the price of tickets. Off to the parade!

CPT L S - CPT (Join to see) Just to be on the safe side and cover all bases I believe we should start a discussion about whether 1LTs have to salute CPT's of questionable backgrounds.

It was I that started all of this. "Mwahahahaahhaha." Just so you I had no clue that it would turn into what it did. I was finishing up at the Infantry Basic Officer Course at Benning and then went to Ranger. Thanks to a recycle I was out in April. I logged back into RP and found that this took on a life of it's own. I still like to throw some fuel on the fire time to time.
