Saluting indoors, at the conclusion of a meeting?

Just curious as to who should be saluted at the end of a meeting.

I have always seen a commander saluted if he is holding the meeting, but rarely the Xo.

That being said, what if its the AS3 or a BDE Medo holding a sync meeting?

Just curious as to what others think or if anyone has knowledge of specific regs covering such.

During our weekly training meetings we always salute the
commander or XO at the conclusion of the meeting.

As said, typically the Commander is saluted at the conclusion of a meeting, but I have seen XO's (BN Level) get saluted, really, any FG officer that holds a meeting, I have seen saluted. I have not found a reg that covers it and believe it falls for to customs and courtesies that anything else. In the units I have been in, AS3's, etc... are not typically saluted at the conclusion of meetings they hold.

I've saluted the CDR in previous Units and my most recent deployment. The first admin meeting I was at with my current unit. We all stood, but they all looked at me like I was crazy when I saluted

In the maritime services, we don't salute indoors, unless covered, and we are not covered unless under arms. We stand for command authority or the senior officer, when s/he stands to adjourn the meeting.

Doesn't anyone consult "Service Etiquette" anymore?
