Why are the Sergeants Major Academy prevented from saluting? Did they read the same AR our Warrants have read?

It's not that saluting is a big deal, or anything. Who cares.

Unfortunately I don’t read ARs in my spare time, I spend time with my family. If I see an infraction I correct it at the source and drive home. This is the first time I have heard or seen a Field Grade Officer complain about an infraction that can be an on the spot correction. What answer are you looking for? Yes, you failed to make an on the spot correction and for some reason need to degrade my rank and position to prove a point. Just remember, I have MAJs on my staff... they usually fall in line and do their job. I wish you were on my staff, we would be figuring this out over some hot chow.

I am a Senior Special Operations Combat Medic who is deeply involved with BH and TBI/MTBI because as a several time wounded warrior, its important to me. You are retired and it seems you are troubled by some things you may have experienced. So yes, I genuinely am here for you bud. Feel free to private message me and I will talk to you as long as you need. Even if you just want to vent. I have worked a very long time on combating stigmas associated with BH assistance. As a matter of fact, I will be in the TBI/MTBI video series on JKO for Soldiers and leaders as soon as it is launched. You seem very agitated and it is clouding your vision, we are all on the same team! I have watched too many of my friends lose the battle with PTSD and BH. You dont have to take my word for it, just reach out. If you dont need help, I am still open to just vent, maybe over chili mac. I am currently deployed, but I can change my schedule for you. Hope you have a nice day! MAJ (Join to see)

Now you're my friend, trying to help me. First you threaten me, then you're my best friend. So you will be in the TBI/MTBI vidoe series on JKO? How would they feel if you used "Behavioral Assistance" as an online weapon? Read through our talks, CSM Michael Chavaree and you will see your sarcasm.
Let me know who to send this thread to. I think it is absolutely shameful you'd attempt to put me and others down, while I suppose you are "sane"? Thanks for telling me to "have a nice day". That's kind of jerk thing to say, isn't it.

I’ll admit to the sarcasm for sure, all your comments to include your post are extremely inflammitory. I really dont know what your deal is, why you are so upset. I hope you are okay. MAJ (Join to see)

What on earth are you talking about? Regardless of rank or position, customs and courtesies are still a thing

They probably read from the same manual that instructs officers not to return hand salutes

Many PME academies have a "no hat, no salute" zone within their campus.
