CUSTOMS AND COURTSIES

Saluting

Navy/Sea Cadet Corps personnel salute the anthem, the flag, and officers as follows:

Raise the right hand smartly until the tip of the forefingers touches the lower part of the headgear or forehead above and slightly to the right of the eye, extend and join the thumb and fingers.

Turn the palm slightly inward until the person saluting can just see its surface from the corner of the right eye.

The upper arm is parallel to the ground; the elbow is slightly in front of the body. Incline the forearm at a 45º angle; hand and wrist are in a straight line.

Complete the salute (after it is returned and a senior officer has dropped his) by dropping the arm to its normal Position in one sharp, clean motion
