    Maybe not in the air force but it’s totally a thing for secret agent Delta Recon SEAL Raider Green Berets like aodhswhateverthefuck up there. They’re so elite, they’ll even salute civilians.

      Lol, I don’t think they ever claimed to be the military. They’re both just confidently incorrect. Technically, there is one civilian who regularly gets saluted, the president.

        That’s a fair point, I was just enjoying the image of the average “I was gonna join but…” doing sloppy dive rolls down supermarket aisles and saluting anything that moved.
