is it required to salute while in Army PT uniform?

MAJ Byron Oyler - Exactly. While in a reclass AIT, we MOS-Ts had to PT wearing the same color PT Belts as the IET kids. One dark morning, a few of us NCOs who were walkers were doing PT and got passed by a IET formation. One of the Drill Sergeants said something to one of the SGTs in our group, who responded with "I'm not in your company." Looking like an IET Soldier, he got shark-attacked by three Senior NCOs. The rest of us had to defuse the situation using our ID Cards, and explanations of who we were and who our organization was. After that, we would swap out our issued PT Belts with green ones after the formation broke.

SGT Dave Tracy that's how it was during my time in 1st AD. Yellow for junior enlisted, green for NCOs, and blue for officers.

1LT (Join to see) - I was once saluted by a KATUSA Private while using the urinal. KBSC on Youngsan during Key Resolve. Kid stood there holding a salute until I finished my business and had a free hand to return it.

LTC (Join to see) - Ummmm......I want to laugh at this and I want to shake my head at the same time.

Not gonna lie.....that was my initial question as well.

Maybe he is putting the question out there because other people need to hear the answer and a culture needs to change somewhere.

I’m going to hope that this is the reason sir.

I thought the same thing when I saw the post. I’m hoping that he is asking on behalf of someone else, if not I don’t know how in the world you manage to become a senior NCO and never once got corrected and or taught to render a resolute which would be part of maintaining your military bearing while in your PT uniform LOL.
