kj_gully said:Let's see, thinking back to my saluting test in cornwallis, I believe the order is written that CF personell may salute a lady that he is familiar with. I can't believe I am involving myself in this.... by extension, if you don't know her you are not to salute her, so all problems solved.
if I was in civies, I was always saluted...made me mad as heck but hey, that's their tradition and their turf.
