Do enlisted soldiers in the navy/marine corps/air force have to salute to officers in the army?

Question

Or anything like that? I'm wondering if enlisted military men salute to officers of different parts of the military.

Answer 1

Yes, they do.

Answer 2

I was in the RAF and think I can answer your question. Saluting originated from taking off the hat to a senior officer in the services. This evolved to touching your peak instead of 'doffing' the hat. This was also carried out in civilian life in the 17th, 18th, 19th and part of the 20th Century when a worker recognised the boss in industry. In the UK saluting only takes place if you're wearing a hat. All officers are saluted with the exception of a Warrant Officer in the RAF and equivalents in the other services. (That is the lowest ranking officer). If you'r not wearing a hat a quick and brief coming to attention takes it's place. If you're in civvies and passing an officer (uniformed or not) you give a verbal 'good afternoon etc.' Salutes are always returned. Vantz above answers point re groups. The navy staff salute with the hand flat, not facing forward. This is believed to have been from the officer checking the cleanliness of the fingernails!! Hope this has helped. DB

Answer 3

yes.all enlisted of any branch have to salute all officers of any branch of service including officers of other countries.the marines and army salute both outside and inside and sometime when they are not wearing thier cover,i think the airforce the have the same standard in saluting in and outdoors.the navy does not salute indoors but they do salute on ships and at certain times inside the ship.you do not have to salute when both hands are full or if you see an officer you must acknowlege the officer with a polite verbal statement,this is also true if both hand are full.keep in mind that when you do salute and officer that you address them by thier rank [ good afternoon captain ] also you are not saluting man/woman the rank that the hold.in addressing a officer it is alway yes/no sir/mam.

Answer 4

To answer this question correctly the answer would be no. An enlisted person that has been awarded the Medal of Honor is not bound to saluting officers of any rank or nation. It's actually the other way around. Even the highest ranking officer (admirals and generals) are required to salute a Medal of Honor recipient first and have their salute returned.
