I notice there's nothing there about AFVs. I remember being up in Meaford, shuttling Cougars from the VLA to Andrews for a weekend course, when the morning Anthem was played. All the pedestrians around stopped & saluted; I ordered my driver to halt, and my gunner to traverse & depress towards the BOR while I saluted. Got some -weird- looks from the RCR-types floating about... ;D
Funniest thing I ever saw - young 2Lt loitering about the verges of the square is approached by a senior MCpl; said MCpl slams firmly to attention, twitches his right arm, but doesn't salute. Young officer, sucked in by the deke, salutes first. The salute was returned smartly, with a loud "Thank you, sir!" thrown in for good measure... >
