| Greetings & Salutations! Have a copy myself in my collection of Spanish-American War era to the Korean War era printed matter such as booklets, brochures, comic-books, magazines, pamphlets, etc., of illustrations of soldier and sailor life back to 1898 and up to 1953. This particular comic came out during the Korea War of 1950-1953. There are more comic books like this one out there, have a few dozen in my own collection. Herbert Booker of Florida |

| Here's what a REAL hand salute looks like, soldier! |
| |
| If you want to be on the ball, find yourself a mirror and check YOUR salute against this diagram! |
| |
| 1 | Always salute at attention |
| 2 | Turn head and eyes towards the person you are saluting |
| 3 | Thumb and forefingers extended and joined |
| 4 | Palm down |
| 5 | Tip of forefinger touches lower part of headdress or forehead above and slightly to front of eye |
| 6 | Upper arm horizontal |
| 7 | Forearm inclined at 45 degrees |
| 8 | Hand and wrist straight |

| Do You Make These Mistakes In Saluting? |
| |
| 1 | When in uniform a soldier does NOT tip his hat to ladies! A salute is the proper greeting. |
| 2 | On the pay line, salute BEFORE receiving your money ... NOT afterwards! |
| 3 | When soldiers are on work detail only the soldier in charge salutes an officer. |
| 4 | A soldier under arms gives the rifle salute. This soldier is giving a hand salute and it is WRONG! |
| 5 | A soldier carrying large things with both hands need NOT salute. |
| 6 | When reporting to an officer indoors ... remove your headdress BEFORE reporting ... except under arms. |
| 7 | Noncommissioned officers rate a lot of respect ... but they should not be saluted. |
| 8 | Never salute on the run! ALWAYS slow down to a walk or a halt first! |
