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?
"B. All Army personnel in uniform are required to salute when they meet and recognize persons entitled to the salute. Salutes will be exchanged between officers (commissioned and warrant) and enlisted personnel, and with personnel of the Armed Forces of the United States..."

Of course you salute every person senior to officer, never compromise honor and respect. The best advise I have for you, is to salute everyone! You will never be wrong however if you don't salute, why would you provide an opportunity for a senior officer to correct you (Which shows a lack of discipline, honor and tradition) and what if others see this? Could damage your reputation.

Idk, seems like a dumb question to me. Of course, a 2Lt should salute a 1Lt.

I think any officer rates a salute. Just out of respect for his rank. There's a few 2lt I didn't think rated a salute, but that's not ho

If someone outranks you, you salute them. That’s the basic principle we were always taught.
