It seems that quite a few people have issues with the idea of customs and courtesies. We're in the military--salute and drive on. Who cares if it is something "I just want to get over with." Even if I know the guy (he's a 1Lt..me a Capt) he should still salute, especially in front of the BX, Gym, in front of the sq bldg, etc. Gimme a break if it's something that may "make me feel uncomfortable"--we're in the military! Call it anal, but too many guys forget the basics! Rant off.
