So during the basketball game on the USS Carl Vinson, they were folding the flag for evening colors.Should the CinC have been saluting the flag, or hand over heart? Posted by GORDON on Nov. 11 2011,17:23
Hand over heart, as far as I know. Civilian.I assume CinC is Commander in Chief, Obama? Posted by TheCatt on Nov. 11 2011,17:34
Yes.Gotcha, wasnt sure since all the military personnel were saluting. Posted by GORDON on Nov. 11 2011,17:53

Not even active duty Marines salute unless they are wearing a cover, and then not indoors unless they are under arms. I guess Obama gave some sloppy, shitbird salute?

I didn't really look very closely. But his wife doesn't have a good game face for suffering things she doesn't like.

Well, compared to Marines EVERY other branch gives sloppy, shitbird salutes. And civilians are just right out.
