If running, slow to a quick time march. If standing, come to attention. Render a proper hand salute when there is about 6 steps distance between you. Address the highest ranking officer with the greeting of the day ("Good morning/afternoon/evening, Sir/Ma'am").
Hold the salute until the salute is returned or you have moved 6 steps past them.
If you have someting in your hands or are otherwise unable to salute, do not salute and say "By your leave, Sir/Ma'am." If the officer has something in his hands, or is unable to return a salute, follow all other steps, but do not offer a salute.
Exceptions: An enlisted military member wearing the Congressional Medal of Honor, would receive and return a salute. If either party is not a military member in good standing (such as under punishment at Leavenworth) they neither may receive nor return a salute. |

WOW a lot of misinformation.
You do not stop and come to attention, You would never get to where you are going, Especially if you happened to be around a post headquarters area.
You render the hand salute and greet the highest ranking officer. The highest ranking officer should return your salute.
You do not stop or even slow down unless the officers stop you. |

If they are together you salute the group, paying particular attention to the senior officer. If they are separate, you salute each one individually.

P.S. - Did you also know that if an enlisted person is wearing the Medal of Honor the officer is obliged to salute them (the medal)? |

This gets a little tricky. You keep walking to your car. Look for the highest ranking officer. Salute, give the greeting of the day and recognize the senior officer.
EX: You approach your car and come upon three officers, two captains and a major. You salute and say good morning/afternoon/day, major.
As a PS to the chief. The officers are actually saluting the Medal not the person. |

If running come to a quick time and salute. If walking CONYINUE walking and say Good afternoon (or morning from 0600 - 1200, afternoon from 1200 until 1800) Sir. Hold salute until entire party passes.You are actually saluting the senior officers rank. |

Depends if they are all in a group you salute the highest ranking and give a gretting to the group but this is only if they are walking side by side.
If they are walking in a line you salute 6 paces out and greet each one as you pass then drop your salute when you pass the last officer.
If they are seperated by more than six paces than you should drop your salute between each one and give each a greeting.
Also as a side note you do not drop your salute until you pass the officer or he salutes back AND drops his salute, he must drop his first.
And the guy who said you keep walking is correct there is no reason to stop walking, unless they ask you to. |

When approaching more then one officer you salute and the Senior officer returns the salute.
This will help...
The site tells you when to salute and how to salute
THE SALUTE
The most basic act of military courtesy is at a meeting of two military persons. Customarily, a salute is exchanged. This form of courtesy has been handed down through the ages and is an integral part of military life. The person receiving the salute (the senior) is just as responsible for returning it as the junior is for rendering it. Learn to salute in a correct and military manner, but without exaggeration. A sloppy salute is more discourteous than a failure to salute. How punctiliously the various forms of military courtesy particularly the salute are observed measures the degree of discipline of the ship or station.

If they are together in a group, you salute and address them as a group with "gentlemen"
this is acceptable with an all male group or a mixed gender group.
If they are all the same rank, you may address them by rank.
"Lieutenants" "Captains" etc.
If nothing else, you may simply salute & say something harmless and generic "Good Afternoon" or such.
If they are separated by more than a few steps, salute them individually and address them separately by rank or simply as "Sir" or "Ma'am" |

it depends. if you are and them are in uniform, outside, and covered(have a hat) you will salute each one. and say good morning/afternoon/evening sir/ma'am to each one separately preferably starting with the highest rank(that's how i do it, its just more respectable) and not move on to the next one until they drop their salute. |

If it is a group of male officers you can refer to the whole group as "Gentleman" ie "Good afternoon gentleman" if there is a woman officer present you can say "good Afternoon Gentleman, Maam |

stop, stand at attention, render a crisp salute, give the greeting of the day: good morning sir/ma'am!
wait for the officers to return your salute and proceed to what you were doing! |

Come to "attention"
Greet: Good morning, afternoon, evening, Sir or Mam
and
Salute: Hold salute until returned.
Don't know about now but when I was in AIT at Ft. Gordon we were required to salute vehicles with officer tags, even if we knew it was the officers wife driving, in or out of uniform. We were also to salute any one we recognized as an officer, in or out of uniform.
