Saluting: When in uniform, personnel salute military officers, and officers higher in rank
than themselves. Salutes are normally exchanged only outdoors. Indoors, salute officers only when formally reporting. The junior person initiates the salute a fair distance from the senior person such that the senior has time to return the salute. Offer a greeting such as, “Good morning, ma’am,” when exchanging salutes. When in formation, do not salute; the commander salutes for you. When in doubt, salute. Anyone may render a salute at any time if they believe one is warranted.
Coming to Attention: It is customary for personnel to come to the position of attention when being addressed by an officer. If an officer who is higher ranking than anyone present enters a room, the first person to notice commands, “Room, ATTENTION.” In a classroom or work environment, these customs are usually relaxed.
How to Address:
- Enlisted: referred to by their rank.
- NCO: Normally referred to by "Sergeant."
- Officers: "Major" "Sir" or "Ma'am"
Reporting:
-Approach the officer’s door, knock twice, and wait for permission to enter.
-Proceed toward the officer and halt 2 paces from them or their desk.
-Salute and say, “Sir, (Rank and Last Name) reporting as ordered.”
-Wait for the officer to return your salute.
-Remain at attention, unless instructed otherwise, as you conduct your business with the officer.
-When the meeting is over, the officer will say, “Dismissed.”
-Come to attention (if not already), and take one step backward.
-Salute and wait for the officer to return the salute.
-Perform an about face, and exit the area.
