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?

Any time you approach a senior officer, you render him/her a salute. Even a 2nd Lt to a 1st Lt. Seniority is always rendered a salute. If you do not, you could be in real trouble. It is always better to salute and be wrong, than not to salute and be wrong, isn't it? It does save an a-s chewing too.

I will have to work that day so RP is probably a no go. I can celebrate at work though by asking if our flight's A1C should stand at parade rest when talking to myself or any other E4.

LTC (Join to see) This is ripe for sarcastic comments said with a smile. I think I'll spend the day contemplating more important matters.

I don't think you can fathom how this topic is so deeply woven into the Officer Culture it could tear at the fabric maintains good order.

CPT (Join to see) - I'm one of a rare breed I guess. It's not something I focus on. I saluted anyone who out ranked me, no matter whether it was when I was an officer or a enlisted soldier and there were times I told enlisted soldiers that they shouldn't salute me (like when I was in civilian clothes). It didn't matter though, ...when I asked them not to they would smile and say yes ma'am and do it again anyway.

Still trying to wrap my Brain around that my Jr Officer is now a Senior Civilian Professor at the War College for Electronic and Information Warfare and his Roomate the COMO (Communications Officer) is a Capt (O-6) in the Reserves (I still call him Mr German) and is my Neighbor at the end of the street.

I hope this question is an anomaly LTC (Join to see) and we won't be seeing anniversary posts of previous questions which received many responses or worse yet every question :-)
