i learn i class about the customs that people in the military follow such as the salutes that is done to the officials and how to respect the eniors in the military and outside on the streets. i learned that the different dress separate the different branches of the military apart such as, it separates the marine, navy and the army away from each other because they have different uniform that symbolizes them. i also learned that the customs for the military is to respect the officials and the different ranking of the official receives different number of ruffles and flourishes. i guess the president will receive the most ruffles and flourishes because he is the chief of the military and our country.

ReplyDeleteIn order to enforce the stratification of the military organization, the use of proper titles serves as an important courtesy. Not only is it a standard to showcase respect by addressing the members of the military by the right title, but it is also expected of inferiors to be aware that a rank is hard-earned. Through the indication of ranks, interactions among privates or officers remain formal and with reverence. In addition, this practice aids in instilling discipline for refraining from the use of first names brings about a hierarchy instead of familiarity. While it is not incorrect to refer to members of the military as "Sir" or "Ma'am," it is customary for such individuals to address superiors by the appropriate title (e.g. General as "General," Major as "Major").
Cadet Guivesas, I like what you have written but are you sure that you want to use the word "inferiors"? I think you might have been looking for the term "subordinates"? At least I hope so. Great writing and keep up the good work. Spread the word to the rest of the class that they are all falling way behind on their homework's by not completing the Blogs. If they are having problems understanding what to do, maybe you can walk them through the process step by step in the classroom again. Thanks and great job.
DeleteSorry.. Yes, I did mean to say subordinates. About the blog, I reminded them about it yesterday and mentioned that only around 5 people from our class did the second one. Based on my understanding though, only a few of them have actually been regularly checking if there are new posts. I'll remind them again on Monday. Sorry.

ReplyDeleteIn the military there are many different traditions, customs, and courtesies. There purpose is to develop pride in the military service. One of the military's custom is the 21-gun salute. The number of guns fired depends on the position of the official. 21 rounds are fired for the president, members of a reigning royal family and chiefs of state of foreign countries. The vice president ambassadors and the speaker of the house receive 19-gun salute. Secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force as well as generals receive 19-gun salute. When attending such a ceremony there are two ways of showing honor. If in uniform the civilian should do a hand salute and if a civilian is wearing casual clothes they should remove any head gear to salute. The 21-gun salute is also the highest honor a nation rendered. Another interesting fact is that the salutes are always in odd numbers.

There are many military customs and courtesies in the military. Courtesies are signs of respect for your flag, your subordinates, your nation, and for heroes. Customs are responding to a senior officer, saluting, recognizing officer's rank, reporting correctly, etc. In class we learned about saluting in which you raise your arm, hand straight and flat towards your eyebrow in order to salute. You are to salute when the national anthem is played, on ceremonies, during Pledge of Allegiance, etc. You do not salute when you are inside except when you report to a superior officer, you don't salute in buses nor cars, you don't salute when you are carrying something with both hands, etc . A courtesy is to salute to a national flag. Another courtesy is so face the flag when in uniform and not in formation. If the flag is unseen, stand at attention.

The customs and courtesies of the hand salute may have originated in the roman times when civilians wanted to speak with a public official they had to raise their right hand to show they were unarmed. Or when knight's met comrades they would raise their visors with their right hand. Whatever the case it was a sign of respect for someone or something. The way to salute is to raise your right hand until the tip of your forefinger touches the outer edge of your right eyebrow. You salute when the national anthem is playing, To uncased National Color outdoors, ceremonial occasions such as changes of command or funerals, at reveille and retreat ceremonies, during the raising or lowering of the flag, during the sounding of honors, when pledging allegiance to the US flag outdoors, when turning over control of formations, when rendering reports, to officers of friendly foreign countries. Saluting is not required when indoors unless it's to a superior officer, a prisoner, when the senior or subordinate is wearing civilian clothes, or if it is an impractical situation like holding something in both hands, or in a car.

ReplyDeleteThere are many different types of salutes in military history. The salute is a way to show respect in the military or to report in. In the military, soldiers would salute another high ranking officer as a sign of a respect towards that officer. They will also salute the flag of their country to show respect towards their nation. In the Army the command for the hand salute is present, ARMS. In JROTC cadets would salute their instructors to and other cadets as well.

ReplyDeleteWhen you salute to someone it is a sign of respect to the other. In our JROTC cadets would salute to instructors and others too. It is also a sign of respect towards the nation when putting our flag.

ReplyDeleteOne of the most highly recognized military courtesy is the hand salute in which you physically salute someone who is at a higher rank than you. Besides that, their are various military courtesy's such as "Ruffles & Flourishes" which is specifically used in ceremonies. Specifically used to Generals, depending on how many stars they have earned (General Rank) is how many ruffles and flourishes they receive.

ReplyDeleteIt's a not-really well known (atleast in the eyes of the public) tradition in the military to stand to the left of an officer or NCO. It makes it far easier for onlookers to know who is the superior when they see a squad marching.

I have always saluted people and never really understood the true meaning. Now a days the salute is used by teens and others who don't know the whole value of it. Watching this i finally got my answer. It's a form of respect.
