What is the correct greeting sequence when you encounter an officer outdoors in uniform?

• A. Stand at ease and nod.
• B. Stand at attention, salute, and address them as Sir or Ma'am.
• C. Wave and shout hello.
• D. Salute only and stay silent.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is proper military greeting etiquette when you meet a supervisor outdoors in uniform. You stand at attention to show respect, render a formal salute, and then address them as Sir or Ma'am to acknowledge their rank and authority. This sequence demonstrates readiness, respect, and clear recognition of the officer’s position. Stand at ease isn’t appropriate for an officer encounter in uniform, waving or shouting is informal and disrespectful, and saluting without the verbal greeting leaves out the essential acknowledgment of the officer’s role.
