This was all in front of my soldiers, by the way. He ripped into me saying that I knew GD well that I was supposed to salute. Just after they passed me, the Major turned around and yelled, “come here Sgt.” So, I d around and walked the 15 feet back to them and stood at Parade rest, as I should have. After all, we WERE in Iraq, the Battle of Fallujah was going on, again, not far away. were walking towards us, I said good afternoon gentlemen, and did not salute. As we were walking through the big courtyard, a Major and Col. After we got there and downloaded, I told 2 of my soldiers that we were going to walk over to the mess hall and grab lunch. In the fall of 2004, I had to go on a mission about 3 and a half hours away. The next day once I was sure nothing was going to happen to me regarding this incident I couldn’t wait to tell all the female soldiers in my unit and boy did we laugh about it during the rest of our training. I scurried to pick up the pad and double timed to the latrine. We all came to an immediate halt! They paused for a half second realizing what they were looking at, looked at me, said nothing and proceeded on their way. I snapped a salute and (wait for it….) upon returning my arm to its normal position the feminine pad flew out on the ground. To my surprise it worked but after I came off the firing line I had to use the latrine and on my trek there some officers were coming towards me. So I had an idea to stick a feminine pad to each of my elbows which I believed would alleviate the pain from all the dirt/sand grinding on my elbows in the prone position. It was hot & humid the dirt/sand was everywhere especially on my elbows and it hurt when I had to fire in the prone position (laying down).

It sounded exactly like a bird flapping it’s wings.” Petty Officer 3 rd Class, U.S. Tim snatched off his ball cap and flapped it violently next to the microphone. “As the Captain approached he rang the bell and passed the word “Pigeon, Arriving!” as the Captain stepped onto the quarterdeck. About poked my eye out trying to quickly get my hand up.” “I realized that what I thought were 3 little squares were actually 3 little stars. exiting the DFAC we would line up single file so they could walk through a saluting gauntlet.” Here is an example of a discussion in which members discussed humorous salutes.
