Title: MILITARY COURTESY


1
MILITARY COURTESY
2
Courtesy Defined
  • The expression or manifestation of consideration
    for the rights of others.
  • More than merely obeying the forms of polite
    conduct.
  • The kind of virtue expected of all individuals be
    it in the military or in civilian life.
  • It is a deep-rooted spirit of friendliness

3
  • mutual respect.
  • Just like loyalty, in the military, courtesy
    works both ways a junior officer is courteous
    and obedient to his senior, but the senior is
    also considerate and respectful of his junior.
  • We act with courtesy toward our senior/elders
    because we recognize their authority and
    responsibility.

4
  • Likewise, the senior must show equal courtesy,
    recognizing the essential role that the junior
    plays as a member of a team.
  • Discipline and courtesy are two inseparable
    virtues of people working in the military, for
    these are integral parts of the soldiers
    personality.
  • These ingredients, if religiously practised in
    the individuals day to day activities, will
    indeed foster success in the undertakings of the
    organization where

5
  • he/she is involved.
  • In the military, courtesy is displayed by
  • - Proper execution of salute
  • - Standing at attention during
  • ceremonies
  • - Observing proper decorum and
  • protocol
  • - Answering superiors with due respect
  • - Giving briefings and making official
  • calls

6
The Salute
  • The most important manifestation of all military
    courtesies is the salute.
  • In the military establishments, the salute is
    mostly used and it distinguishes the military
    man/woman in its execution.
  • Salute indicates pride in himself/herself and
    his/her unit and thus enhances the building up of
    confidence in his/her

7
  • ability to perform his/her assigned duties well,
    even without being told to do so.
  • How to Salute
  • From the position of attention or if walking from
    an erect position, raise the right hand smartly
    until the tip of the forefinger touches the lower
    part of the headgear, forearm inclined at 45
    degrees, hand and wrist at straight line, palm
    slightly inward, thumb and fingers extended and
    joined.

8
Rules in Rendering the Hand Salute
  • The salute is required on and off military
    installations during and outside office hours.
  • Persons entitled to the salute
  • - All commissioned officers of the AFP,
  • both male and female.
  • - Commissioned officers of friendly
  • nations when they are recognized as
  • such

9
  • - Officers of the Coast Guard and
  • Geodetic Survey and the Public Health
  • Service when they are serving with the
  • AFP.
  • - All civilians who are entitled by reason
  • of position, to gun salute or other
  • honors, are also entitled by custom to
  • salute.
  • Salute is rendered at a distance of about six (6)
    paces from the person saluted, or

10
  • at a recognizable distance of thirty (30) paces.
  • The salute must be returned by those entitled to
    it.
  • - It is not rendered when running but at
  • halt or walk.
  • - Never salute with cigarette, cigar or
  • pipe in the mouth.
  • - The salute should not be executed in a
  • haphazard or perfunctory manner.

11
  • - Salutes are exchanged whether individuals are
    covered or uncovered.
  • The salute is rendered but once
  • - If the senior remains in the immediate
  • vicinity and no conversation takes
  • place.
  • - If a conversation occurs, the junior
  • again salutes when they part from each
  • other.
  • In making reports, the person reporting salutes
    first regardless of

12
  • rank. An example of this case is when a unit
    commander is reporting to the adjutant during a
    ceremony.
  • In cases not mentioned above or when there is
    doubt whether or not to salute, it is safe or
    preferably to render a salute.

  • When in a recreational hall, making the salute
    inappropriate.

    saluting impractical.

  • Courtesy Call is a military custom or

18
  • practice whereby a newly reported officer or
    enlisted personnel makes an official visit to his

  • Reporting to an Officer
  • The salute is rendered by a junior officer when
    reporting to a senior officer. He also salutes
    before leaving.
  • Reporting indoors without arms
  • - A soldier removes his headgear,
  • knocks at the door of the office, and

19
  • enters when told to do so.
  • - Upon entering, he halts at about two
  • paces from the officer and salutes and
  • says Sir, Pvt Cruz reports to the
  • Company Commander.
  • - The salute is retained until he
  • completes his report and the officer has
  • returned his salute.
  • - When the business is completed, the
  • soldier salutes, executes about face
  • and leaves the office.

20
  • Reporting Indoors Under Arms the procedure in
    reporting is the same as discussed above except
    that the soldier remains covered. If carrying a
    rifle, the soldier carries it and salutes at
    trail arms. Otherwise the hand salute is given.
  • Reporting Outdoors the procedure of reporting
    to an officer outdoors is the same as discussed
    above except that the headgear is not removed.
    The rifle should be carried at trail or right
    shoulder. The hand salute or rifle salute

21
  • is given as the case may be.
  • Reporting for Pay A soldier reporting for pay
    answers here when his name is called,
    approaches and salutes the officer paying. He
    picks up and counts his money and leaves without
    saluting. The officer does not return his
    salute.

22
