I have been dealing with this a lot. I have seen both ways. As per AR 600–25 the junior person should salute. I see a 1LT senior to a 2LT and I salute them. I have seen many instances where this does not happen. Most see a LT as a LT regardless of being a 1st or 2nd. How do you all feel about this?

What a bunch of new age crap.
Yes, junior salutes senior. Period.
Don't you have more important things to worry about?

Who cares,... the number one cause of death on the battlefield is still bleeding from an extremity,... learn how to apply a tourniquet then decide your finite pecking order.

That's like saying should a major salute a lieutenant colonel. Of course. He/She is higher in the chain of command.

This is an easy one. When it comes to officers you salute them in they are a higher rank than you. That means all enlisted salute officers! If your an officer and your rank is one less than your peer than you salute them. For example a LTC will salute a COL. So a 2nd LT should salute a 1st LT its very simple. Those are the rules and should be followed as so. On the enlisted side I have had friends who were higher ranking then myself I still stood at parade rest to speak to them unless other wise told to stand at ease. The regulations are written out very clearly there is no excuse for not following them.

Yes a junior ranking person should salute a senior ranking person. A 1LT is senior to a 2LT. That's how it is.

Sorry, sir, but a LTC wouldnt neglect to salute a COL, just because they are both "colonels "
