Stand at attention
Face the person or flag you are saluting
Raise your right hand to your forehead or brow
Keep your fingers straight and together
Tilt your hand slightly so the palm faces down
Touch or hover your fingertips near the edge of your eyebrow or hat brim
Keep your elbow angled outward
Hold the salute briefly
Lower your hand smoothly back to your side
Maintain a respectful posture throughout
