Sgt George Kinyaevsky 4709194 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Question might seem a bit strange, but I&#39;m transitioning into the Army and know there are a few differences between Marine customs and Army customs, and I don&#39;t want to give any bad impressions. For example, Marines only salute with a cover on, which means unless you&#39;re under arms you wouldn&#39;t salute indoors, etc. 2019-06-09T18:10:05-04:00 Sgt George Kinyaevsky 4709194

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>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.<br /><br />If your hands are full, you give greeting of the day, but don&#39;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.<br /><br />There are a few other technicalities, but those are the basics.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Same in the army. Plus inside the pentagon it is a no salute area

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You definitely do not salute indoors unless reporting for duty to a superior officer. You don&#39;t salute in the field for obvious reasons. <br /><br />You had better damn well salute the General&#39;s car even if the general is not in it . Salute the flag I believe three steps before and hold it and untill you are three steps past. you can salute during the national anthem.<br /><br /> There&#39;s probably people better to answer this, but not many people bother reading the regulations. It should be pretty easy to get a copy. <br /><br />They told us… When in doubt, salute. You can&#39;t get in trouble for doing it too much. You may get laughed at, but nobody gets really upset

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SGT, Army is slightly different in that we do salute a superior officer when reporting to him indoors.
