Question might seem a bit strange, but I'm transitioning into the Army and know there are a few differences between Marine customs and Army customs, and I don't want to give any bad impressions. For example, Marines only salute with a cover on, which means unless you're under arms you wouldn't salute indoors, etc.

We salute out of doors with or without a cover. (For instance in PT uniform). We also salute indoors when reporting (report for pay, which never happens any more, but is still on the books, report to the Commander, report to a board). We do not salute NCOs, unless reporting to a board, or ceremonially.
If your hands are full, you give greeting of the day, but don't salute. If officers hands are full, you still salute, but THEY give greeting of day instead. If running, you slow to a walk, salute, then resume running (unless doing organized PT). If in formation, only the person in charge of formation salutes.
There are a few other technicalities, but those are the basics.

I could have sworn you Salute Enlisted if they have been awarded the Medal of Honor as long as They are wearing it or am I wrong

SPC David Glines You are right. That would fall under the "technicalities" portion of my post. Because A) it is far from a common occurrence and B) a Marine transitioning to the Army doesn't need to be told that.
But yes, an enlisted with a MoH is the exception to saluting enlisted folk.

SGT, Army is slightly different in that we do salute a superior officer when reporting to him indoors.
