There's 5 of us, While we were going back on our barracks because we were done cooking, we saw the 3 star General heading our Way so we quickly line up for formation to salute him. When He saw us saluting him, He Put down the Things In his Hands (Laptop,Few folders and his Phone.) and Salute us Back. Because of that I have huge respect and admiration to him. .

There's a great anecdotal story about how an LT in the marines was laying into an enlisted guy for not saluting him, as was his due. He made the marine stand there and salute him 100 times. During that, Chesty comes by and asks what's going on. The smug LT explains the situation, and Chesty agrees with the LT. After a pause he says "that marine is saluting you, but you are not returning his salute as required." He then made the marine start again from zero, and stood and watched the LT returned each and every salute. Apparently the enlisted marine had a bad case of shit-eating grin for all 100 salutes.

Never met an officer who saluted back that was an asshole. I remember this story told to me by a friend. My friend comes from a unit where the leadership engendered a culture of "You don't have to salute if you're in the middle of important work. Service comes first, decorum comes after." And one day, he's working on something deeply important and an officer from another unit comes in and he expects some salute and gets pissy when he doesn't receive one. My friend, of course, explains that in their unit, salutes are performed when appropriate by those able. Those who are engrossed in very important work are not able to salute and cannot be expected to. This goes up to the unit's commanding officer who goes "Yeah, my guys don't owe you shit, take the chip off your shoulder and go somewhere else." Don't be the officer who isn't good to subordinates. Nobody fucking likes you when you're an asshole.

Big difference between a boss and a leader. Give me leaders all dang day.

When I was a Cpl (Marine), I was once the subject of an ass chewing from a Sgt 1st Class for not saluting the Lt he was walking with. He also threw in there that Marines are not "better than Soldiers" and that all enlisted salute all officers. I agreed with him. He asked for my explanation for not saluting and my answer was simple. I told him that being that we were currently in Afghanistan, a combat zone, that I would not be saluting the Lt. In addition, I was not wearing a cover that, according to the MCO 1020.34g (at the time), Marines render a salute in. He asked for my CO, I gave him the Col's name and went along my way. The Col found me later and congratulated me on keeping my cool and remaining professional.

@Jon Doe Yeah, no worries. I'll run through it all. It'll help with the context. I'm in the Marine Corps and this altercation happened between my self and a Soldier (Army). Cpl is the abbreviation for Corporal and Sgt 1st Class is a Sergeant First Class. Im sure that's not the correct abbreviation, but I dont care. I was an E4 and the Sgt 1st Class is an E7, that's the difference in rank between us. Also, there is no Sgt 1st Class in the Marine Corps. Instead E7 for us is Gunnery Sergeant (GySgt). They are NOT the same! Anyway, Lt is Lieutenant and Col is Colonel. CO is Commanding Officer. MCO is Marine Corps Order and MCO 1020.34g was the Uniform Order for the Marine Corps at the time. This is the doctrine that tells Marines what is and is not authorized for wear and how to wear it. A cover is a hat. Rendering a salute is quite literally the action of saluting. When an enlisted service member renders a salute to an officer, that officer is REQUIRED to return the salute. Hope this helped clear things up fella.

Yep. Been there, done that.

I wasn't aware this was now an acceptable form of salute.

Once saluted an officer who was on the phone and had something in his other hand. Wasn't expecting a returned salute, but the dude juggled his stuff and returned it. That's an officer worth respecting.

Had an LT with one of those attitudes. Demanded we salute at ALL times. We were deployed. So we stacked up, spaced out, and every few steps he took he passed another platoon member. Each one saluting and saying, "Sniper check Sir!" He asked the CO what that meant. We no long needed to salute him when deployed.

After a change of command on my first boat, some of the new captains first words at the all hands call were "if you see me in the pway, for the love of God dont call attention on deck"

When I served in the army one morning I was making cleaning with few privates and I was the surgeant. We came across to the 3 star general with few colonels. I saluted directly because when group encounters only highest ranks of the group salutes here in Turkey. And 3 star general told us good morning my kids and saluted me back. It was like a surgeant with few privates and a 3 star general with several colonels saluted each other.)))

This is a wild way to talk to an officer

I'll never forget the time I had a Major salute me with his left hand. That and I had a Lieutenant salute me with a folder. So, yeah I was a little more than baffled. Lol

I remember as an E4 shopping for toothpaste in the PX at Ft. Bliss. I was grabbing a tube from the bottom shelf, stood up real quick and got slightly disoriented and stepped back and bumped into someone. We were both in uniform, I was going to apologize and looked down at his rank on his chest and saw one star staring back at me. I looked him in the eye and remember saying “oh shit”. He just slightly laughed and said “no worries troop, carry on”. They are people too. Some decent, some jerks.

Accurate. Listen, if i'm up at 3 AM manning the gates and can salute, THESE mo'fuckas can salute back.

My friends were all giggling the entire time he's going nuts, so I'm sure that didn't make his attitude any better. I've also had several officers drop their PX bags or whatever they were holding just to return the salute. Most would either smile or chuckle, especially the female officers, (mainly cause I usually had a goofy, shit-eating grin on my face) or they would just ignore me. The ones that I would catch multiple times, some would laugh and play along, saluting me with bags and folders, or they would just ignore me too. Nothing too crazy ever happened unfortunately.

@tiltedhorizon1435

Жыл бұрын

@S3Rg3 You are correct, protocol does not require them to return a salute. However, most young officers don't know that, mainly due to the Army "encouraging" returning salutes whenever possible. They literally teach "always keep your right hand free, if possible. I.e. PX bags are to be held in the left hand unless you have so many that it requires both hands to hold them all." Still funny to watch the young ones squirm.

i like saluting officers when they are mid bite when we cross paths

This is hands down the best thing I've seen today.

In the 82nd airborne, there was no not saluting back from any butter bar, Lieutenant. They would get reamed out by the battalion commander if they did not salute. Hell I got in trouble for not saluting a generals jeep. He wasn’t even in it.😂

I hated working gates because you'd always have officers in civilian clothes or retired officers drive up with their beard and a pony tail and demand a salute. I even told my flight chief per the UCMJ you have to salute all officers in uniform, why are we constantly saluting civilians not in uniform that haven't even been in the military in over twenty years. He didn't have an answer for me.

The best way to make that even more funny is just hold the salute and follow them around till they salute you back 😂

Stepped off in sync too

anytime an officer didnt salute me, i remembered their face and then went in on whatever citations i could possibly write the next time they came through my gate. Its all fun and games till you piss off the gate guards.

Worked a specific gate for helicopters at Bragg. Morning shift crews always come in late and rushing to get their chow hall, PT, or for duty. Almost all have coffee, usually in their right hands while driving so they can dim their headlights for the gate. Every day we had at least one driver salute and forget about their coffee as they pour it on themselves. We considered it bonus points if they were in dress uniform and not BDU's.

Do what you got to do and get the fuck outta here. Every time you're up here...." "'Oorah Segeant. How are you? Love your hair." "(sigh) It's a damn bun. What do you want? Nevermind, I know what you want. Whatchu want besides THAT?"

As a retired O-5 and prior enlisted, I had that happen to me and I had that same reaction. Hated it when officers would just walk by. As an O-1 at a training school it was a pain in the butt because walking in or out of a building my arm was constantly up the entire time since every enlisted person had to have a return salute and then I had to salute every O-2 and above. As an O-4 in Kuwait I had two Marines, obviously down from Iraq, walk past me and didn't salute but did acknowledge me verbally. About ten feet behind them were two Soldiers who looked directly at me and did nothing but kept walking. I stopped them and addressed the lack of appropriate rendering of a salute. I ensured they knew why I let the Mainese pass because I didn't want them getting into a bad habit while in country but I was enforcing the Army rules on the Soldiers. I heard the two Maines laughing as they could over hear my conversation as they kept walking.
