In a Group
If enlisted personnel and officers are standing
together and a senior officer approaches, the first to see
the senior should call out “Attention,” and all face the
officer and salute.
Overtaking
Never overtake and pass an officer without
permission. If it becomes necessary for you to pass, you
should do so to the left, salute when abreast of the
officer, and ask, “By your leave, sir/ma’am?” The
officer should reply, “Very well,” and return the salute.
