First Sergeants’ Corner
Customs and courtesies
Are customs and courtesies still relevant? Of course. So, why do military members fail to salute designated staff cars on a regular basis? Or, why do military members forget to stand when a senior military member enters the room?
These are some of the traditional customs and courtesies that give us distinction from the civilian sector.
When these infractions go uncorrected, a lack of discipline spreads rapidly throughout the military ranks. It is everyone’s responsibility to know when and where to salute and when to display the proper courtesies to senior leadership. Let’s not forget who we are; we are members of the U.S. military.
