Saluting or waving?
Quote from Quentin Letts, Daily Mail, February 1.
(RAF Brize Norton Jan 31, at the arrival of 'Legover' Hollande)
''An RAF officer (Stevie Lushington) made one of those salutes that judders for half a minute after it has been made. Twangggg!''
With about 20 years experience / practicing you would think Stevie would know how to salute PERFECTLY, setting an example to his 'underlings'.
Army officers are much worse, often with the hand pointing vertically off the forearm's 45 degree angle, and waving furiously. A quite ridiculous posture!
Why are standards so sloppy these days?
