How many officers get a salute but no greeting? It creeps me out. I'd rather they not even salute. I correct them, but still, where are they learning this behavior?

I have to agree; the salute is only half of the deal. I don't consider it acceptable to not acknowledge someone in passing, regardless of rank.

Never have I ever saluted and not given the greeting as well.

Right? I even say hi to my Joe's all the time. I make it a point to stay good morning SPC Snuffy, or hey there PFC Joe

When I first arrived to my unit I found my self getting nervous being in the real Army. At first whenever i saw rank I would stumble with my watch and try to get the greeting before walking past the officer. For me it was simpler to just say Sir, Ma'am, Chief. That was a bad habit in it's self. Now I say greeting of the time. Maybe the struggle is not just being lazy but potentially sruggling to have confidence in themselfs when being new to the military. This is just my personal opinion.
