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..."

Does an E6 stand at parade rest for an E7? (well i would hope so). I do believe a 2LT should salute and render the honor deserved to the 1LT. I see you were an NCO at one point 2LT Rosa and you know the standard. You have obviously come along way in your career for a reason, by keeping the standard. It takes a few seconds from your day to throw the salute up, just do it.

I sincerely do not understand why there is a debate about this; this shows what exactly is wrong with the Army of today! The standards are there for a reason, set forth by the Secretary of the Army, Chief of Staff, and Sergeant Major of the Army. Even the old lineage, "You can add to, but not take away from," cannot not apply to "No rank among LTs." We are not in the position, nor place, to be deciding on when to apply the regulations and when not to. This is why there are so many AFN commercials of What Right Looks Like.

Yes the longstyanding tradition of saluting one another is a respect and authority measure set way back when General Washington commanded.... To caveat as NCO's go through school I was an E-6 going to parade rest and attention for peers that were my Cadre.... A little humbleness, humility and pride set aside will develop stronger leaders... Good leadership in my time always told me I will have my chance and one day you never know I may be a 1SG or CSM running my own Company / BN. So yes absolutely officers junior to those present should absolutely salute or present arms. Its a miltary pride/heritage look and being professional while doing so reflects greatly upon one's discipline and integrity.

A 2LT must salute a 1LT since they are subordinate to them by rank. 2LT must lead by example as they will one day get promoted to 1LT and will expect 2LT to salute them.
You may not like the person but you will resect the rank always. When in doubt Salute.

Simply put, yes. While there may be 1LTs out there who don't want to be saluted by their 2LT brethren, it's still military courtesy to do so. I've known warrant officers that hate to be saluted by other warrant officers (and maybe that's just the culture), but let's stick to garrison rules and discipline and salute any commissioned officer at a higher rank than you.

Trick question?? You don't address anyone at parade rest. You come back to attention first...and yes..you stand at attention to address o's and enlisteds coming from parade rest unless ordered to 'at ease'. Did I win?
