Kaa050. You don't deserve to have those tabs on your shoulder. A similar thing happened to me, the poor s0d was confused, but i let it pass. Charging him isn't the way to go about it. every day when i cycle home, squaddies don't salute, but do i care? As long as i get a 'evening sir' or recognsion i'm there its alright.
The whole business about saluting, yes its had its days, but i think it should only be kept for formal use.
If you want to be saluted, and your but officially kissed, then go to RAF Cosford, or Halton. They'll do it all day long.
