While running in PT uniform and revelry sounds, stop and salute?

I remember going straight from revelry to PT. But i was much younger then.

I did say "should have ceased", GySgt Kenneth Pepper.
I can recall running in more than one formation which deserved a "No open flames within 50 feet" warning.

SSgt Joseph Baptist - We started our PT formation at 06:00... was usually complete by 06:45 or so... but was not unusual to have a longer run that had us still in formation at 07:00. We ALL stopped what we were doing to surrender the Salute. It's not about "a truly sorry excuse for an NCO", it was what it was.

I do not believe anyone said anything like that on this vine... it's second nature, for at least the Army, to stop what you're doing to render the Salute.

It didn't matter if we were doing PT, driving in your POV, walking down the street there were two times a day that if you were on post, you stopped what you were doing even if you couldn't see the flag but hear the call you saluted in that direction.

SGT Nickolas Ortiz - Just a reminder, unless it has all been changed, but military times are shown as 0600, 0700, 0001, 0100, et cetera.

CW2 (Join to see) - Actually it is not. Every person whether NG, AR or AD enlists and goes through bct. In BCT it is taught through, word and deed and constant reinforcement that at 0700 and 1700 when the flag is raised and lowered that all personnel come to a halt in whatever they are doing, face the direction of the flag and if military salute, or place your hand over your heart if non-military. This does not change post to post. It is always the same.

SSG Brian G. and 1LT Clardy - what both of you state is accurate. My point, probably not well stated, is that as a reservist, we do not all drill on a military installation/post. I’m currently on Gillem Enclave and reveille or retreat has not been played at any of the small reserve buildings I have been at and thus a lot of those customs have been forgotten through my own fault. I only speak for myself. One would wish one could remember everything you’re trained for but unfortunately, the mind doesn’t work that way. I’ve had to relearn things along the way (when I attend PME) and learn new things at every duty location. Once again, just my experience and my own 2 cents.

CW2 (Join to see) - Ok, I get that but in your unit do you not attend annual training at some post or base, or training facility. There, they most assuredly do observe the military customs.

SSG Brian G. Thanks for understanding. Mostly been to home station AT which means we stay at our own reserve bldg to work and maybe they'll take us for a day or 2 to stay in on post barracks and conduct WQ like for example at Ft. Dix or Fort McClellan. I don't think they play them in the outskirts of training areas but maybe I've not paid attention. I did live on an Air Force post once and we had to stop cars and get out. Not sure I've seen that at other posts... but again… don’t go on post much…
